Over 7,000 students of both Class 10 and 12 would appear for the ‘save a year’ exam in Tripura that is expected to be held in the last week of July, an official said on Wednesday.
The ‘save a year’ examination was introduced by the Tripura government in 2020 to allow the students who failed to pass in two subjects to get promoted to the next class or get admissions in colleges after clearing a retest. The students need to get a minimum of 150 marks in their examinations.
A total of 2,042 Class 10 students and 1,385 Class 12 students have applied for review of their examination papers.
Tripura Board of Secondary Education (TBSE) secretary Dulal Dey said the board will announce the schedule of the exam in a week. “The exam will be held in the last week of July”, he said.
The students who would appear for the examinations need to submit their forms to their respective schools from July 8 till 11 and the TBSE should get these forms from July 12 to 15, he said.
