Exam day for class eleven starts; 10,000 students skip the language examination

On Monday, the Class 11 final test started with a language paper that had 9,844 absentees. 8,25,187 individuals in all enrolled for the exam, and 8,25,187 of those candidates showed up for the test, which was administered at 3,302 locations around the state.

Both in Salem and Ramanathapuram, authorities from the school education department said that there had been two instances of misconduct.

There were almost 12,000 absentees for the Class 12 language exam, compared to about 9,844 pupils today. It is common for there to be 3% of absentees in any examination. After hearing complaints that there were a lot of absentees the previous year, we have worked to guarantee that students don’t drop out, which has allowed us to reduce the number of absentees,” a department of education official said.
