Following CBSE, Telangana Board has opted for the cancellation of TS SSC exams and postponement of the TS Inter examinations 2021. The SSC exams were scheduled from May 17 to 28 with major subjects to be completed by May 22. The TS SSC Result 2021 will be prepared on the basis of Objective Criteria to be developed by the SSC board, Telangana at a later date. Any student who is not satisfied with the marks allocated to him/her on this basis will be given an opportunity to sit in an exam as and when the conditions are conducive to hold the exams.
The annual exams of TS Inter 1st have also been cancelled. Students will be promoted to the next class without exams.
Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao took the final decision on cancellation after consultation with other stakeholders. The rise in COVID cases in the state and the apprehensions of parents also forced the Chief Minister to cancel the exams. About six lakh students are presently enrolled in 10th class from the state.
Deciding on the TS Inter exams 2021, the board has decide to postpone the examinations which were scheduled to begin from May 1 to 19. According to a board official, “the government was thinking of promoting 10th class students and also those pursuing Intermediate first-year but was committed to conducting 12th class (Intermediate second-year) exams even if they are delayed. This was to ensure that State students don’t lose out at the national level entrance exams and admissions in top institutions where 12th class marks matter.”
The government had cancelled the TS SSC exams last year as well and promoted all students taking their internal assessment marks into consideration.
Since the CBSE postponed the class 12 exams, the Telangana State Board of Intermediate Education (TS-BIE) will follow the same. Government has time till July to conduct the same and announce the results early. “So the 12th exams in Telangana will also be postponed definitely,” he said.
