Hyderabad, January 25 (INN): Giving a major relief to thousands of intermediate students, the State Government on Tuesday deferred the decision to introduce jumbling system for one more year.
According to Minister for Secondary Education K Parthasarathy, the government has taken this decision as many private college managements have been opposing the system arguing that exposing students to new laboratories would hit the marks of students as facilities in majority of colleges were not up to the mark.
Talking to media persons in his chambers at Secretariat, Parthasarathy said that the jumbling system is exempted for this academic year only. “The government will not give any relaxation for jumbling system from the next academic calendar,” he stated.
The government has received many requests from colleges and students’ bodies to exempt jumbling system for practicals this year. “Considering students’ interests, the government has decided to postpone by one year. The college managements have given a written statement that they will adopt jumbling system from the next academic year,” he said.
He said the syllabus in intermediate education would be updated to prepare them for the national level examinations. (INN)
