PUC exams will start on May 24 and SSLC on June 21: Suresh Kumar

Bengaluru: Minister for Primary and Secondary Education S Suresh Kumar on Thursday, April 8 said that PUC exams will start on May 24 and SSLC on June 21.

The government will release a new Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for the smooth conduct of the board exams.

Minister said that the students of Classes 10 and 12, who appeared for board examinations last year, are also considered as corona warriors, and also spoke about students who secured high marks despite facing financial difficulties last year.

Kumar further urged parents not to believe in rumours about the cancellation of examinations for Class 1 to 9.

“The government is yet to decide whether to conduct the exams or not. I have already conducted a meeting with stakeholders and after discussing with higher authorities, a final call will be taken soon,” he said.
