“Why should students wait till October to give the exam and another few months for results? Our children will get to appear for a re-examination session in July itself and results for the same will be released by third week of August,” said Tawde at a press conference held at Mantralaya.

While only SSC students get to appear for reexaminations in July this year, the same will be applicable to HSC students, next academic year onwards.
