40k Tamil Nadu students to get SSLC certificates

COIMBATORE: A total of 40,422 Class X students from the district have passed the SSLC exams as per results announced by the state on Monday. Of these, 19,978 were boys, and 20,444 were girls.
As per data from the school education department, 41,148 students had registered for the exams. Though the state, in view of the Covid-19 pandemic and the lockdown, had cancelled Class X exams and announced that all students would be promoted, results have not been declared for 726 students.
When contacted, officials of the directorate of government examinations (DGE) said they had assigned roll numbers for students who had enrolled in Class X at the beginning of the academic year, and the missing numbers would come under three categories: dropouts, long-term absentees who would not have appeared for quarterly and half-yearly exams, and third, students who are dead.
When contacted, Coimbatore chief education officer P Usha said as per their nominal roll, the results of only around 450 students were not published, as they would have not appeared for quarterly or half-yearly exams, or would have been on a long leave. She said they had got no instructions for them yet.
The state had earlier said that the marks for Class X students would be computed as 80% from quarterly and half-yearly exam marks, and 20% based on their attendance. Schools had also been asked to submit the quarterly and half-yearly answer scripts for the computation process.
From the district, 1,510 private candidates had registered for the Class X exam. Their results have not been declared. Officials said as on Monday evening, there was no instruction from the state regarding private candidates.
The official said students can download provisional certificates from August 17.
Sources in the district school education department said announcement on Class XI admissions might come soon.
