Principal Secretary of School Education Praveen Prakash on Friday said the new policy of allowing re-admission of Class 10 students who failed in more than one subject in SSC board exam helped 1,071 students pass the exams with flying colours this year. The policy was introduced last year.
In a statement, he said the students showed remarkable improvement in the percentage of marks they obtained this year.
To drive his message home, he cited the case of a student (name withheld) who secured a total of 266 marks (44 %) in SSC final examinations last year. By utilising the re-admission policy, the student improved the total score to 505 (84%) this year, he said.
