Mumbai: The Maharashtra government is considering to hold re-examinations for the students who failed the HSC (Class 12) and SSC (Class 10) regular exams in June, instead of October, state Education Minister Vinod Tawde said.
"From next year onwards, the state board is planning to declare both the HSC and SSC results in May itself. The students who fail their exams in February/March will have another chance to clear them in May. The results of these exams will be declared in June", said education Minister Vinod Tawde.
"Students who clear their exams in May will be able to apply for admission in colleges in June", he added.
In a press conference, Tawde said that he would have a meeting with the state board officials to see if it can be started from this year itself, and whether an examination for repeaters can be held in June.
There is however no clarity on whether the September-October examinations will be continued by the state board.
Until now, the students who fail in the HSC and SSC state board exams were given a chance to re-appear in the month of September-October, and results are declared in December.
If implemented, it will save one year of the students, but will overburden the teachers.
