Bangalore, Jun 4: The students who take I PUC exams for granted may have to lose a whole year. So beware!

The PU Examination Board has come forward to put an end to this by conducting I PU exams as public exam.This decision was taken by the Board in the wake of II PU students performing badly in this year's exams.

As the SSLC and II PU exams are conducted in State Level, the Board has come forward to conduct I PUC exams in district level.

Currently, the question papers are prepared at the district level and the valuation is done by the lecturers of the respective colleges. But in future the evaluation will be done by the lecturers of different colleges, stated the Board Commissioner S.G. Hegde in a press release.

This change will be implemented after a meeting within a month. It is stated that the lecturers give grace marks to their students by correcting liberally in the college level evaluation andas a result students tend to perform badly in the II PUC Board exams. This will naturally lead to the dip in the results. A bridge course will also be conducted for the students.
