Andhra Pradesh and Telangana States Intermediate Public Examinations (IPE) - 2015 could be delayed by over a month as the Board of Intermediate Education (BIE) has failed to kickstart the process so far. The board usually starts preparing for the examinations in August every year, but officials said they are two months behind schedule this time. The exams are usually held in March, with as many as 20 lakh students taking the test.
The preparations for the IPE include drafting a dozen sets of question papers, out of which three are chosen, identifying examination centres, dispatching question papers to the centres and getting officials and teachers on board as evaluators and invigilators. Sources said that even the first stage of the process has not commenced till date.
The reason for the delay is none other than the tug of war between Andhra Pradesh and Telangana state governments. While the AP government wants to go for a revised system of examinations in junior colleges, where the students get tested only in the second year, the Telangana government is insisting on continuing with the old model, where students write the examination in both years. Both state Education Ministers Meet with theIse and Education Institutions bifuracation issue and 10th Schedule Institutions , solve the problem.
Interestingly, even the board officials seem to be wary of the two month long delay as Rama Sankar Naik, secretary of BIE had earlier issued a DOL (dummy office letter) for consideration of two governments. The board has to print and distribute one crore answer booklets and additional answer scripts. As many as 12 sets of question papers are to be printed and distributed. Also, student details are to be collected from across the two states.
