The State Higher Education Department has decided to reduce the 'minimum mark per cent limit' required for getting the benefit of answer sheet evaluation/revaluation from 10 percent to 5 percent, officials stated here on Tuesday.
"This decision has been taken while keeping in view the interest of students and it would come into force from the upcoming examination sessions," State Higher Education Minister Prem Prakash Pandey, said on Tuesday.
He directed the Principal Secretary of Higher Education Department Dr Bl Agrawal to release a circular for all State universities informing them about the decision.
Pandey has also directed the Department to get implemented the cashless payment system.
"The money given to students as scholarships should be now transferred to their bank accounts online and the accounts must be connected with their Aadhar card," he said.
The Minister also asked the officials to undertake a special drive to open bank accounts for students.
