Bengaluru, Jul 1: Karnataka Primary and Secondary Education Minister S Suresh Kumar on Wednesday played down reports about confusion regarding valuation of Second Pre- University and the Secondary School Leaving Certificate exam papers.
"Creating confusion has become a habit. There was confusion before the exam, during the exam and now confusion about the valuation of the exam papers," Kumar told reporters in Ramanagara when asked about the confusion over the valuation of answer sheets.
He had gone there to inspect a few centres where the SSLC or the 10th standard exams are underway.
The minister reminded people not to speak about the abilities of the students with contempt.
"Our students have toiled hard and are enthusiastically appearing for the examination. They are eligible for the marks they will score. So we should not speak about our children with disrespect," Kumar said.
The Education Minister said he had spoken to many leaders including former chief ministers Siddaramaiah and H D Kumaraswamy on conducting the examinations.
"Kumaraswamy had insisted on postponing the examination. I personally spoke to him and apprised him about the steps taken by us. I told him that we will work with more sincerity to ensure the safety of the children," Kumar said.
The SSLC exam was scheduled to take place from March 27 but due to the coronavirus-induced lockdown, it was postponed.
While the CBSE and a few other states either decided to give marks based on the students' performance in the previous examinations such as quarterly and half-yearly exams or gave general promotion to the students, Karnataka went ahead to hold the exam.
According to Karnataka Secondary Education Examination Board officials, around 8.5 lakh students have enrolled this year for the SSLC examination.
The exams are being held at 2,879 exam centres across the state.
Prior to the SSLC examination, the last exam of the Second PUC was also conducted on June 18, which was also put on hold due to the lockdown.

All these celebrations started from fatimaid era in Eygpt which belongs to shia sects and then spread to sunni lands which was implemented by the governor of iraq 600 years after Prophet passed away. I request those who celebrate this birthday to READ IQRA read read about the seerah of Prophet Muhammad by yourself.. U will know the REAL LOVE to follow prophet Muhammad Pbuh.
Islamic scriptures do not support any kind of birth day celebration as part of islamic rites... people should avoid these waste expences & energies instead utilize it to promote values of prophet's teachings.
Is it permitted in Islam to celebrate B’day?
Did Prophet (pbuh) celebrate his B’day?
If B’day celebration is permitted in Islam then why did prophet(pbuh) not celebrate his or his parents or his wives or his children B’day?
Where is it told in Quran or Teaching of prophet(pbuh) that color green represents Islam?
