Students failing in two subjects in the SSC or HSC exams will get a chance to save an academic year and can seek admission to the
next class. State education minister Radhakrishna Vikhe Patil on Friday announced that such students will be given the ATKT (allowed to keep term) facility.
The decision will come into effect from the current academic year and those who have failed in the February-March 2009 exams can also avail of the facility. The minister said about 3 lakh students failed in the February-March 2009 SSC exams, of which 2.25 lakh failed in two subjects, while 1.40 lakh failed in two subjects in the HSC exams.
"Those who have failed in two subjects will have to clear their papers in March and October examinations. The decision will come into effect next week. We will ask such candidates to apply for admissions in the next classes," the minister said.
Asked which stream would these SSC students be given admissions to, Vikhe Patil said, "It will depend on the marks and availability of seats in various streams. Education officers will be asked to prepare a taluka- and district-wise list of institutions and the seats available."
The minister said from next year, a fixed date for both SSC and HSC examinations would be declared a year in advance and the results would be announced within a month.
Vikhe Patil said this time 2.5 lakh students were being given online admission in junior colleges in Mumbai. In Mumbai, after two rounds of the online admission system, the third round will be for students who have failed in two subjects.
