DPUE considering declaringII PU repeaters ‘pass’ this year

Govt. had first said that repeaters and private candidates will have to sit for exam

The Department of Pre-University Education (DPUE) is considering passing second pre-university (II PU) students who have registered for the 2021 examination as repeaters. These are candidates who had failed to clear the II PU board examination in the past. Initially, the State government had announced that repeaters and private candidates would have to sit for an exam after the COVID-19 situation eased. This rule, however, is now under review, but only for repeaters. The move comes after the department was flooded with calls from candidates and their parents questioning the government’s decision to pass only freshers without an examination. They argued that students, who would have otherwise failed to clear the board exam if it had been held, would be given a passing grade/score.
