College admissions only after results of all boards announced: Ponmudi
With Class 12 State board results to be announced today, Higher Education Minister K Ponmudi on Sunday said that college admissions would begin only after all board results, including, CBSE, were announced.
The CBSE is expected to announce its Class 12 results before July 31.
The Minister also pointed out that even if the results were not published for CBSE and other stream students, they could still enrol for courses after producing their mark sheets, and accordingly, they would get their seats.
More than eight lakh students had registered for the State board exams. The marks were calculated using a formula prescribed by the School Education Department recently as exams were cancelled due to the pandemic situation. A total of 50 % weightage was given to Class 10 marks, 20 % to Class 11 results and 30% weightage for Class 12 practicals/internals.
A notification from the Directorate of Government Examination on Friday said that the results and the statement of marks could be viewed on www.tnresults.nic.in, www.dge1.tn.nic.in, www.dge2.tn.nic.in and www.dge.tn.gov.in. The Directorate further said that students could download their mark sheets on 22 July from 11 am at www.dge.tn.gov.in and www.dge.tn.nic.in.
