This year, several students went through anxious moments as they had to appear for intermediate exams with 100 per cent syllabus for the first time post the Covid-19 pandemic.

During the last two academic years, the intermediate syllabus was cut down by 30 per cent and exams were conducted covering 70 per cent of the syllabus due to the pandemic. This was the same batch that was marked ‘passed’ in the Class X considering their internal assessment marks during the pandemic.

A total of 4,17,525 students registered and 4,02,630 were present for intermediate second-year chemistry paper-II and Commerce paper-II exam on Wednesday. Four malpractice cases – two in Mancherial, and one each in Vikarabad and Medchal districts were booked on Wednesday.

The examination for minor papers will conclude on April 4.
