The state board had earlier announced that 25 per cent of the total syllabus will be curtailed for the board aspirants to make up for the loss of the academic hours.
Last year, a total of 15.05 lakh students appeared for the class 12 exam and 17.65 lakh students appeared for the class 10 exam. A student should secure at least 35 per cent marks in each subject to clear the state SSC and HSC exams.
