Karnataka govt has decided to offer students a chance to improve their scores by attending assessment tests that can be taken from their homes.
Following the decision to promote all first-year pre-university (I PU equivalent to Class 11) students without examinations, the Karnataka government has now decided to offer students a chance to improve their scores by attending assessment tests that can be taken from their homes, similar to how open-book exams are held.
As per the plan, the model question papers would be uploaded to the department’s official website and that students will be allowed to download them, write answers and then send them to their respective evaluator by different means.
DPUE Director Snehal R said, “Students can choose to take the assessment only if they seek to improve their scores from the universal 35% marks that are provided to all as they were promoted without exams this year due to the COVID-19 situation.” She further said that they did not want to differentiate between students at government and private institutions, and also wanted to ensure different modes to submit the answer papers were offered to eliminate any divide based on the facilities each student could access at home.
Students have to answer model question paper-1 for each subject — which should be completed and submitted to the concerned lecturer between June 10 and 20, after which the evaluation will be done till June 25. The second assignment should reach the lecturer between June 26 and July 5, for which assessment will be held till July 10. The total assessment — when the two assignments are evaluated and converted to the scores in the prescribed format will take place from July 11 to July 15. Lecturers have been directed to upload the final scores to the SATS portal from July 15 to 20, 2021.
Students could either take photos/scan them and send them via Whatsapp or email to the respective lecturer. “For students with no access to online facilities, they can also post them or meet the lecturer at college to submit them directly, as Covid-related restrictions are expected to be eased by then,” the DPUE Director said.
Moreover, each student would be informed of the system through an SMS sent to the mobile number against which the student registration is done already.
Meanwhile, Kar 2nd PUC exams have been cancelled in view of the COVID-19. The same was announced on June 4.
