GUWAHATI: The class X special exam, for those who were dissatisfied with the statistical formula-based evaluation, will commence from Friday. Over 22,000 students are appearing for the exam. However, following a
Gauhati High Court
order, the
Board of Secondary Education,
Assam (
Seba) is also contemplating to start the process of conducting the compartmental examination for around 10,000-12,000 students.
The high court, while hearing a plea for holding compartmental examinations for students who failed in the statistical formula-based evaluation by Seba, gave liberty to students to approach the board to appear again in the subjects in which they have failed. The court hoped Seba would sympathetically consider it.
Seba secretary Suranjana Senapati said the board, in accordance with its policy, “had held compartmental examinations in the past, only in respect of the failed students”.
According to the Seba policy, compartmental examination was held in the past for those candidates who could not come out successful in
HSLC/AHM
examination but failed maximum in three subjects and obtained minimum 170 marks in aggregate.
They were eligible to appear in the compartmental examination only once in a single chance. The candidate appearing in compartmental examination has to secure 30% and above marks in the subjects appeared in and his total marks must be 180 to come out successful.
