TIRUCHI: Buoyed by the confidence the group of Plus Two students with potential to achieve State-level ranks have gained from its two series of examinations conducted in ‘real time’ environment, the School Education department has extended the approach to a promising batch of SSLC students.

The department is certain that exposure of students to the situations associated with public examinations – right from the colour of question papers, the pattern of questions, and the model of answer sheets to the methodology of evaluation – is bound to reflect in State-level ranks for the district, according to Chief Educational Officer K. Swaminathan. .

Thirty two Plus Two students who had scored over 1,100 in the half-yearly examinations were chosen for the specialised orientation at Bishop Heber Higher Secondary School, Teppakulam. Likewise, a similar number of SSLC students who had scored over 470 in the half-yearly examinations have been chosen to undergo the two-examination series at E.R. Higher Secondary School, said the Examinations Coordinator Christopher Premkumar.

According to Plus Two students Hariprasad of K.A.P. Viswanatham Higher Secondary School and Sandhya of SVS Hindu Girls’ Higher Secondary School, they have gained enormous confidence from the opportunities to analyse the performance of fellow students.

Providing the perspective of the teachers involved in the exercise, Raja, Assistant Headmaster of St. Joseph’s Higher Secondary School, said that students were made to realise the importance they are supposed to accord for language papers to secure State-level ranks through overall score, alongside aiming for centums in core papers.
