It has come to the notice of the Board that this being the first year of implementation a number of students/parents were either not aware of the rule or the students could not cope up even after the improvement Examination conducted by the schools in April.

Therefore, it has been decided that one more chance be given to the candidates of Class IX 2013-2014 session for improvement of performance.

The schools are accordingly requested that candidates who failed to obtain 25% i.e. 15 marks out of 60 in the Summative Assessments even after the chance of improvement of performance be given one more chance and the assessment be conducted by July this year, as a special case.
