SSC students who have been eagerly waiting for their results will have to wait for one more day to know their fate. The directorate of government examinations will now release the results only on Thursday, instead of Wednesday.
A day before the scheduled date for announcing the results, the directorate postponed it by one day as minister for secondary education K Parthasarathi will be back in the city only on Thursday from his bypoll campaign in Tirupati.
This is the second time that the directorate had to postpone the results to suit the minister's schedule. Though the initial plan was to release the results at 11 am on Wednesday the officials had to postpone it to 4.30 pm the same day as the minister was to attend a party meeting.
The decision was taken at a short notice. This sudden postponement has heightened tension among students who are apprehensive as to how the CBSE model grading system, which was recently introduced in SSC, would affect them.
As per the new grading system, instead of marks, just grading (on a scale of 10) will be given in SSC certificates of the students. The directorate officials, however, said that it was the minister's busy schedule that forced them to postpone the results.
"We had slated the function at 4.30 pm and this seemed not convenient time for students to access the internet for the results. Hence, we decided to defer the timing and postpone it by a day," said B Manmadha Reddy, director, government examinations.
The decision incensed several students and parents.
