On Wednesday, the school education department issued a Government Resolution (GR) through which it was specified that from current year onwards, no student appearing for Higher Secondary Certificate exam will be considered as failed. Instead of getting the “Fail” mark on the mark sheet, the 12th student who fails to attain the passing marks will be considered as “eligible for re-examination”.
On the other hand, the students who belong to 10th class and who fail to attain the passing marks in the board examination will be given the “eligible only for skill development programme” tag in their mark sheet.
