Tamil Nadu: Over 9 lakh Class X students to get results on August 10

CHENNAI: Class X exam results will be announced on August 10, the Tamil Nadu Directorate of Government Examinations (TNDGE) said on Friday. The state government cancelled the board exams due to Covid-19 and is awarding marks based on half-yearly and quarterly exam marks of students, with 20% weightage given for attendance.
More than nine lakh students had registered for the exams that were scheduled to be held in March.
“The results will be declared at 9.30am on August 10. Candidates can check their results using their date of birth and roll number,” C Usharani, director of government exams, said in a release.
Students can access results at www.tnresults.nic.in, www.dge1.tn.nic.in and www.dge2.tn.nic.in. If students have any grievances over their marks, they can submit a grievance form through their schools from August 17 to 25. The forms will be received through the DGE’s website www.dge.tn.gov.in and processed. “The reviewed results will be conveyed through school headmasters,” the release added. Students can get provisional marksheets from August 17 to 25.
Schools have been demanding results in the form of grades instead of marks since quarterly and half-yearly exams are usually tougher than board exams. “Most students securing around 80% marks in both these exams score above 90 in board exams. If marks are awarded based on these two exams, students will be disappointed. Grades would be ideal,” a principal said.
Officials from the school education department, however, said Class X students will get results as marks, not grades.
