After SSLC, Karnataka mom & daughter clear II PU exam together

BENGALURU: The mother-daughter duo from Sullia who cleared SSLC exam together two years ago has passed II PU exam as well.
Geetha N, a home guard, and her daughter Trisha KR, residents of Jayanagar in Sullia, passed II PU in arts and commerce, respectively.
Geetha, who discontinued studies in 1993-94 after she could not clear SSLC, tried her luck as a private candidate in 2021. "I passed in my first attempt and at that time, my daughter too was an SSLC student. Then I thought of clearing PU. I appeared as a private candidate last year, but failed in economics, which I cleared this year," said Geetha, who scored 249. "I studied during my breaks and got the support of my lecturers."
On what made her clear SSLC after such a long gap, Geetha said: "Passing SSLC is a must for home guards."
