Metro News / Hyderabad : The stalemate over the conduct of Intermediate Public Examination (IPE) continues as both the Telangana and Andhra Pradesh governments are adamant over the respective stands. Even the intervention of Governor ESL Narasimhan could not break the ice and it seems the ball is now in the Central government’s court. At one hand, the Andhra Pradesh State government is of the opinion that it has the right to hold the examination common for students of both the States as the Board of Intermediate (BIE) is listed under 9th schedule.
On the other hand, seeking separate exams the Telangana government said that it would protect the spirit of Reorganization Act as spoken about common admissions and not common examination. Unable to come to any conclusion, the AP government complained to the Governor who summoned Telangana government and advised both the governments to solve the issue keeping in view the interests of students. But both the governments failed to reach to any amicable solution keeping the students in confusion. Telangana Education Minister G Jagadish Reddy said, “We will not change our stand of conducting separate examination for our students even if the Governor complains to the Centre.”
He said that the government’s stand was in compliance with the Reorganisation Act and alleged that the AP government was creating unnecessary controversy over it. He said that BIE belongs to Telangana as it was mentioned in the Act and if AP needs any help, the TS government will help them to conduct exams for their students. Both the governments have already released their dates of examination in the month of March but uncertainty looms following the rift between the two governments.
Now that the Governor is in Delhi, intermediate students are expecting solution either way so that at least they can sit in the examination in time as most of the competitive examinations fall in the month of May or June. A senior intermediate student S Kiran Kumar Raju said that if there was a delay in the conduct of examination then students will be at loss, who are preparing for several competitive examinations.
We will not change our stand of conducting separate examination for our students even if the Governor complains to the Centre
