Karnataka: 1st PU results soon; SSLC exams when situation becomes normal

Bengaluru, May 4: First year Pre-University results of Karnataka Department of Pre-University Education will be released soon.
According to a report, the first year PU result will be released on the registered mobile numbers of students or parents on May 5. The report also asked the colleges which offers PU course that the PU results should not be released on the notice boards.
This measure has been taken keeping in view to avoid gatherings in and around the institutions to prevent the spread of coronavirus.
The Deccan Herald report also said the students who are not able to clear the exams after the PU results are declared will be given a chance to appear for supplementary examinations in college level and further details on this will be shared with the institutes by the department in due course.
"After the declaration of results, colleges can conduct online classes for students who are eligible to attend second year PU classes," the report added.
The state is yet to complete the SSLC (class 10) and PU second year (higher secondary or class 12) examinations as the spread of coronavirus and subsequent lockdown announced by the government has put the whole academic activities out of gear in the state.
Recently, the education minister has said the SSLC examinations in the state will be conducted as it is a "crucial stage in a student's life".
"We will consider it (SSLC examinations) when the situation becomes normal," The New Indian Express quoted the minister as saying.
The Karnataka SSLC exam was scheduled to be held between March 27 and April 9, and over eight lakh students had registered for the exam.
Updates on the date and other decisions regarding PU second year exams are awaited.
Earlier, the school education department had decided to promote class 7 and 8 students without any exams in the wake of lockdown aimed at controlling the spread of COVID-19.

Only 20 out of 68 Congress MLAs are now active on social media: D K Shivakumar

Bengaluru, June 23: Karnataka Congress chief D K Shivakumar has urged his party colleagues to be active on social media to counter the propaganda of Bharatiya Janata Party.
Speaking to media persons, the KPCC president said that no more than 20 out of the 68 Congress MLAs are active on social media.
“All those MLAs who are doing well need to be projected. We want leaders, not mere followers. They all should be the face of Congress in Karnataka. Party should not depend on just my face or Siddaramaiah’s,” he said.
Shivakumar’s diktat has resulted in the party’s social media unit scrambling to get leaders to create their accounts.
“We’re pressuring all the party MLAs and leaders. We’re asking their personal assistants or gunmen to operate their accounts if they are not savvy with social media,” KPCC social media chief A N Nataraj Gowda said.
He pointed out that the 20 MLAs who are active on social media include U T Khader, Dinesh Gundu Rao, Priyank Kharge, Krishna Byre Gowda among others.
“We’re also trying to get the accounts verified of those who are beginning to get active. For example, it was only recently that we got the accounts of S R Patil and Vijay Singh verified,” Gowda said.
Tapping the full potential of social media is crucial for the Congress because the BJP has found much success in reaching out to voters through various online platforms.
In fact, ahead of the 2018 Assembly elections, the Congress found that there were 10 ministers and some 40 MLAs who had turned a blind eye towards social media.
Shivakumar said he was also working on putting in place a system in the party under which all developments related to the state and country will be communicated to all party leaders at 10 am every day.
