MUMBAI: After the bumper HSC results, class improvement exam (CIE) students, too, want to be evaluated like their regular and repeat counterparts.
CIE is taken by students who wish to improve their scores. This year, around 10,000 students were to take CIE with regular and repeat students in May. After the exams got cancelled, the state derived an assessment methodology for the students. CIE students were not included in the assessment. They have to write the exam when it is held.
Most CIE students are from science who could not get the 50% to 60% needed to qualify for NEET and JEE. Students said admissions for the competitive exams will be in October. If they miss CIE exams, they miss the competitive tests too. “My daughter will lose two years,” said a parent. Students told TOI they should have failed the exam last year and registered as repeat candidates for better scores.
