Mohammed Younus/ Hyderabad : Intermediate students are worried and also upset over the constant changes at the Board of Intermediate Education (BIE) and tiff between the Telangana and Andhra Pradesh governments. With the Telangana government constituting a separate board for the State, uncertainty loomed large over the whole state of affairs. The differences between the two governments over the conduct of examinations are said to be the actual reason for the present crisis situation.
Students were expecting a kind of reconciliation between the two governments so that everything goes as per schedule, but the creation of separate board at this point left several students confused and irked. “Though the decision to divide the Board of intermediate is welcome, the Telangana government should not have done this at a time when examination dates are fast approaching,” said K Ravi Kumar, a private college senior intermediate student. He said that this decision has already created anxiety among students about the possible time-table of the public examination and that was disturbing their studies.
-Preparations start at least six months prior to the examinations
-August is the typical month for commencement of preparations
-Arrangements already lagging behind by three months
-Actual division of BIE may take more than a month
-All sections and employees need to be divided in the ration of 48:52
The Andhra Pradesh and Telangana governments have locked horns over the pattern of question paper, preparation of papers and conduct of examination citing various reservations. Earlier this month, AP government had ordered the board to start preparations to conduct the common examinations while the Telangana government issued a notice to conduct it separately. Many students complained that they were worried about the possible clash of dates with other competitive examinations, if the newly created board delays the process. A resident of Nampally, Manzoor Ahmed said that his son, studying in the second year of Intermediate, was worried ever since he knew about the bifurcation and that was affecting his preparation.
Several students, on the other hand, expressed happiness at the decision of the Telangana government and exuded confidence in it to bring the condition under control. After the division of the board employees, assets and responsibilities are needed to be divided as part of the actual division. Officials from the Intermediate Board said that it may take more or less a month’s time for the actual division.
“Examinations can only be conducted in time if the preparations for examinations, including question paper formulation, printing and other activities are parallel to the division process, otherwise it would be injustice to the students,” said an official from Intermediate Board on condition of anonymity. He said that only a meeting at the ministry-level could pave the way for an amicable solution without disturbing the student fraternity.
