The department has backtracked on its decision taken on Thursday to make key changes in the tenth grade exams in Telangana state. The department issued an amendment order on Friday stating that the removal of internal marks will not be there this time and the system of giving 100 marks for the written exam will come into effect from the next academic year (2025-26). That is, the same system of allocating 20 marks for internal exams and 80 marks for the final exam, as implemented last year, will be implemented this year as well. This decision was taken after criticism came just three and a half months before the exams. However, grading will be lifted from the current academic year. That is, marks will be allocated instead of grading.
