“The students who have not passed do not need to worry about losing a year. They will get two additional chances to appear for the exams. Until students complete all three exams, or pass, their digital marks card will carry the remark ‘in progress’ instead of ‘fail’,” Madhu Bangarappa explained.

This year, the SSLC exams were held with strict procedures, and a significant number of students did not pass. Out of 8.96 lakh students, 66.14% were successful. However, for those who failed, the Minister assured that there would be two more attempts available to ensure that no student loses an entire academic year.

Dates for SSLC Exam 2 & 3:

• SSLC Exam 2: May 26 to June 2
• SSLC Exam 3: June 23 to June 30

The minister also stated that 79,000 students have already registered for the re-examinations and will be given another chance to clear the subjects they failed in.

This system of three attempts was introduced to support students and allow them to improve their performance. The minister reiterated that the two additional chances would help the students catch up and secure their education without facing the threat of dropping out.

The announcement has brought relief to the students who didn’t pass and are now looking forward to the upcoming exams.
