Karnataka postpones practical exams for 2nd PUC students

The Karnataka government on Sunday decided to postpone practical examinations for students of second-year PUC that were scheduled to be held across the state from April 28. However, theory examinations will be held as planned from June 21 to July 5. Primary and Secondary Education Minister S Suresh Kumar said that the decision to postpone practical exams was taken based on several requests made by stakeholders concerned with the process. “The department of pre-university education (DPUE) has decided to act on requests from parents, teachers, and students to postpone practical exams in the wake of the ongoing Covid-19 situation in the state,” he explained.

However, the minister clarified, “The practical exams will be conducted soon after the annual theory exams get over.” He further advised students not to get distracted by the change in schedule, and instead be prepared better for the upcoming annual examinations.
