Since the 20th of April, students who appeared for the Intermediate exams held by the Telangana State Board of Intermediate Education (TSBIE) in 2019, are protesting against the TSBIE in Nampally, Hyderabad, Telangana.
According to the source, the students and their parents alleged the TSBIE of evaluating the papers inefficiently, following which, approximately 6 students committed suicide.
However, the TBSIE authorities denied the allegations and asked the students to apply for re evaluation or write supplementary exams to improve their grades.
The protest began after students reported goof ups in their mark sheets. Many students who appeared for the exams were marked absent, whereas a topper student of the 1st year was given 0 in Telugu in the 2nd year.
The Students Federation of India (SFI,) the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) and the parents of the students are protesting against the TSBIE and sought an explanation regarding the results.
On the 18th of April, after a week’s delay, the TSBIE declared the results of the Intermediate 1st and 2nd year exams.
Approximately 9 lakh students appeared for the Intermediate exams in Telangana.
A total of 59.9 % and 65 % of students passed Inter 1st and 2nd year respectively.
The protestors demanded the resignation of Dr. A. Ashok, the Director of the TSBIE, for the irregularities and irresponsibility in the results of Intermediate Exams 2019.
