Bengaluru: The Department of Primary and Secondary Education has decided to relax 75% attendance rule, which is otherwise mandatory, for the students appearing for SSLC and II PU board exams scheduled for March/April 2022.
The department has decided not make 75% attendance compulsory this year’s examinations as there was delay in starting of physical classes. The rule 21 of Karnataka Education Act, 2006, mandates 75% attendance for students to appear for Class 10 and II PU board exams.
According to the amendments to the Act as per Supreme Court directions, if any student fails to get less than 75% attendance then such students will not be allowed to appear for the examinations with no admission tickets being issued.
