Bengaluru, Mar 19: Nearly 11 thousand students will be unable to write the Secondary School Leaving Certificate (SSLC) examinations scheduled to begin on March 21 owing to shortage of attendance.
According to data available with the Karnataka Secondary Education Examinations Board (KSEEB), the number of students with attendance shortage this year is 10,572. KSEEB has clarified that these students would not be issued admission tickets.
The students will lose one academic year and have to appear for the SSLC examination in March 2020 after attending classes next academic year. They will not be allowed to write the supplementary examination in 2019.
Students have to have attendance of 75%. An official of the board said despite repeated warnings, these students did not have the stipulated attendance.
The number of students with attendance shortage has, however, reduced compared to the previous year as 16,811 students were not allowed to write the examination in 2018 for the same reason.
A total of 8.41 lakh students have registered for the SSLC examinations scheduled to take place between March 21 and April 4. The number of students writing the examination has increased by 3,578 compared to the previous year.
For the first time this year, students cannot wear digital watches. They will be allowed to wear only analogue watches.
