Practical examinations for SSLC, higher secondary, and vocational higher secondary students have been rescheduled and will now be held after the year-end theory examinations, Minister for General Education V. Sivankutty has said.
Addressing an online press meet after a meeting of the General Education Department on Thursday, Mr. Sivankutty said the change in the practical exam schedule would provide teachers more time to complete portions. The practical examination timetable would be published by schools.
Higher secondary improvement examinations would begin on January 31. Special arrangements would be made for COVID-positive students to appear for the examinations. School authorities could decide whether to conduct model examinations depending on the conditions in the institution.
