1. The High Court of Karnataka will today pronounce its verdict on whether or not public exams can be held for classes 5, 8 and 9. The exams have been caught in a legal wrangle with private school managements questioning government’s decision to hold public exams for these classes. Exams had to be cancelled two days after they began, with the High Court on March 11 directing the State Government to keep in abeyance the examinations, scheduled on March 13 and 14 for classes 5 and 8, till the court hears the appeal filed by the government against the verdict of the single judge who had quashed the new method of assessment by conducting uniform exams for these classes from the present academic year.
2. Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has successfully conducted the Pushpak Reusable Landing Vehicle (RLV) LEX 02 landing experiment at the Aeronautical Test Range in Chitradurga today morning.
