Unusually high number of failures in Intermediate first year and suicide of two students enraged student organisations that held protests across the State on Friday.
National Students’ Union of India (NSUI) activists led by president Venkat Balmoor staged a protest at the Board of Intermediate Education (BIE) demanding justice to students who were forced to write the exams after just one month of classroom education. They were picked up by the police and moved to different police stations.
Later, speaking to reporters, Mr. Balmoor blamed the government for the suicides and its decision to conduct the exams when students were neither academically nor mentally prepared.

Former CM B.S. Yediyurappa had challenged the first information report registered on March 14, 2024, on the alleged incident that occurred on February 2, 2024, the chargesheet filed by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), and the February 28, 2025, order of taking cognisance of offences afresh by the trial court.
