BIE comes up with contingency plan
With Andhra Pradesh and Telangana governments are adamant over common and separate Intermediate Public Examinations (IPE); the Board has come up with a contingency plan.
Hyderabad: With Andhra Pradesh and Telangana governments are adamant over common and separate Intermediate Public Examinations (IPE); the Board has come up with a contingency plan.
After a delay of over one month, the Board has kick-started work process for conducting the intermediate examinations in both the states. A senior official of Telangana higher education department said that the government had directed the board to make alternative arrangements for holding the examination.
“Even if a decision on whether to hold common or separate examination comes a day before the schedule examination, the board would be able conduct the examination,” the official informed.
Sources in the higher education department said, “12 sets of questions paper for each subject of eight general and 32 vocational courses would be prepared every year. As the imbroglio over holding common or separate exams is still prevailing, the board has decided to make 24 sets of question papers for both the states. Every year, 12 sets of questions papers are made for each subject. Now the question papers will be doubled as both governments are obstinate on the issue. Instead of selecting three question papers every year after printing, this time six would be picked.”
Meanwhile, eminent educationist Chukka Ramaiah and Government Junior Lecturers’ Association president P Madhusudhan Reddy on Wednesday met Telangana chief secretary Rajiv Sharma. The team urged chief secretary to appoint a secretary for the Board of Intermediate Education at the earliest.
They also urged him to clear the ongoing crisis on intermediate examinations in both the states. “Rajiv categorically assured that a secretary for the board would be appointed in a day or two,” said Reddy.
Madhusudhan stated that the Telangana government had already taken a clear stand on conducting separate examinations for the both the states. However, the Andhra Pradesh government did not reveal its stand, taking lakhs of students’ career on a ride.
“Last year by October 11 the examination schedule was released. Due to indecision, so far the schedule has not yet been released. We urged the chief secretary to initiate the process as students and parents are in utter confusion over IPE,” Reddy said.
