Maharashtra HSC, SSC Admissions 2020: Students who failed in 9th, 11th standard to be given another chance

Maharashtra Schools will be conducting oral tests for the students who have failed in classes 9th and 11th to promote them to the next grade.

Maharashtra Education Minister Varsha Gaikwad has announced that the state schools will give another opportunity to students who had failed in the 9th and 11th standard. The HSC and SSC admissions will be granted to such students on the basis of the oral exams. The schools will be conducting the oral exams by inviting the students to their respective schools or through video conferencing. This has been done to provide another chance to the students who could for some reason not pass their exams. The minister made the announcement through her twitter handle to provide the details on the exams.

Due to the coronavirus outbreak in the country, this year the schools have not been holding classes physically since March 2020. Many states had cancelled all junior classes and Board exams, owing to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic situation.
