TSBIE blamed
Due to the pandemic, the TSBIE and college managements had arranged online classes.
Speaking to siasat.com, Syeda Ishrat, a student who had written the exams told that it was very difficult to understand the lessons through online classes.
Parents of the students who failed the examination have blamed the TSBIE for conducting the examination in the middle of the pandemic. They alleged that the board has unnecessarily built additional pressure on students despite promoting them to inter second year.
Although TSBIE had reduced the inter syllabus to 70 percent, the teachers alleged that it was difficult to cover the syllabus despite reducing it. They said that the number of academic days was few.
