Vasundra Devi, Director of Government Exams has stated as follows:
The Tamil Nadu Government has allocated more amount for the educational department. In the government schools the students are studying without spending any of this money. They have been given 14 free items including note books, school bags, chappals and cycle.
SSLC and Plus 2 students are scoring 100 out 100 marks in the examinations. This is appreciable but at the same time the students should understand the lessons and write the exams. Some of the students simply mug the questions and answers and get 100 out of 100.
Hence the examination department will be introducing a new pattern of exam for the first time from this half yearly examination. Students can write this exam only if they understand their lessons thoroughly. The date for the half yearly examination is not fixed. The examination will take place during the month of December. The new pattern of application will be applicable to SSLC and Plus 2 students studying in Tamil Nadu Government schools, government aided schools and matriculation schools
