Mysuru: Amid a raging controversy over dress code in colleges, the Chamarajanagar district administration has started preparing to conduct II PU exams, which will commence from April 16.
Last year, the exam was canceled due to the pandemic. Based on the marks scored in the SSLC exam of the previous year, I PU students were promoted to the next class.
The border district has ranked 12th, by securing 69.3% results in 2020-21.
Instructions have been given to all college heads, to conduct the laboratory exams from February 17, and complete it within a month. With the pandemic throwing the academic calendar out of gear, the government had reduced the syllabus by 30% for language subjects like Kannada, English and Hindi. However, for optional subjects, the examinations will be conducted without the syllabus being reduced.
The state PU board has also announced model question papers in its official website, after making small changes, when compared to the previous years question papers. Students will have the opportunity of writing exams with multiple-choice questions.
As the question paper pattern for the II PU exam changed this year, by making small changes, the question paper for preparatory exams will be prepared at the district level, unlike the state level last year. The state PU department had conducted various workshops for lecturers, on preparing model question papers for the preparatory exam on various occasions.
As many as 15,443 students will be appearing for both first and second PU exams from Chamarajanagar district this year.
“The department has given special focus for improving results of science stream students from across the district this year. Exam handbooks were prepared in physics, biology and chemistry, by the Lecturers Association subject-wise, and distributed to students to perform well,” said M Mahesha PU lecturer.
Deputy director of pre-university education Nagamallesh said the department lecturers have covered 80% of the syllabus, and that the students are ready to write the exams confidently, after making preparations to conduct the preparatory exams, despite the pandemic threat.
“A total 80 PU students were tested positive for the SARS-CoV-2 virus this year, and have had mild symptoms. Classes were conducted successfully for students, without much effect on their studies, amid a raging pandemic for a few months. The district has achieved 94% of its target, by vaccinating 14,425 PU students,” he said.
