Bengaluru, Mar 12: Over 6.10 lakh students from across the State appeared for the second-year pre-university examinations that began on Thursday. Students claimed that the Business Studies paper was ‘lengthy’ but asserted that the Chemistry paper was ‘easier than previous years.’

Nandini G, a commerce student of Indiranagar Composite PU College said: “I do not think anyone was able to finish the entire Business Studies paper in spite of knowing all the answers. It was just too long. Also, the five mark questions were really tough and those based on topics such as financial planning were also quite challenging. Otherwise the rest of the paper was comparatively easy.”

She added that entering details such as answer booklet numbers for taking additional answer sheets and vice versa and then again entering those numbers in the invigilator’s register led to a loss of nearly 10 minutes. “Also, at least five squads visited our exam centre for inspection and although this did not take time, it distracted a lot of students,” she added.

The Business Studies paper is for 100 marks. Shree Vidya, a science student form the same college said: “I have referred to a number of question banks from previous years and I have found that this Chemistry paper was the easiest this time. I am expecting above 60 marks,” she said.

Coaching institutes Ace and Base claim that any well-prepared student can easily score centum, while average students can score around 50 marks.  The Chemistry paper was for 70 marks, with 30 marks for internal assessment.

Another commerce student from Belagavi and two Chemistry students from Bagalkot and Bidar were debarred from the examination. This year, the exams were held across 1,017 examination centers in the State

A new chapter is unfolding for football in Mangaluru as the football ground adjacent to Nehru Maidan receives a modern artificial turf, with completion expected by the end of May. This long-awaited upgrade promises to significantly enhance the playing experience for both budding and seasoned footballers in the region.

The project, spearheaded by Mangaluru Smart City Limited (MSCL), involves laying synthetic turf across the 90,000 sq ft ground at a cost of ₹2.5 crore. Equipped with efficient drainage systems, the revamped ground will support uninterrupted play throughout the year, regardless of weather conditions.

“This is a long-pending demand of the football community here,” said D.M. Aslam of the Dakshina Kannada District Football Association. “We expect the turf work to be completed in the next two weeks. Currently, around 150 children practice regularly at the ground, and we anticipate that number to rise once the new surface is open.”

MSCL General Manager (Technical), Arun Prabha K.S., noted that while the project had been planned for some time, groundwork officially began after last year’s monsoon league concluded in August. “Once completed, this facility will be a full-fledged synthetic turf suitable for training, local tournaments, and league matches,” he said.

With the inauguration expected soon after the final touches are completed, the new astro turf is set to elevate the city’s football infrastructure and serve as a springboard for talent development across the district.

Mangaluru: Dakshina Kannada district has secured the top position in Karnataka in the SSLC (Class 10) results for the academic year 2024–25, with a pass percentage of 91.12%, as announced on Friday.

In the previous academic year (2023–24), the district had ranked second in the state with a higher pass percentage of 92.12%. Despite a 1% drop in the pass rate this year, the district has risen to the top position. In 2022–23, it had ranked 17th with 89.52%.

Deputy Director of Public Instruction (DDPI) Venkatesh S Patagar attributed the district’s improved rank to several focused initiatives. Among them were the timely completion of the syllabus by December 2024 and subject-wise special classes.

Special attention was given to slow learners through dedicated support classes. The department also organized fortnightly parent meetings to track students' academic progress.

To instill discipline and a consistent study routine, schools made regular wake-up calls to students in the mornings and evenings. Other initiatives included model question paper practice, the 'Jnana Sinchana' live YouTube series, online doubt-clearing sessions, and interactive radio phone-in programs.

Students were also encouraged to attempt the 'Vijayeebhava' question paper series, developed and published by the District Institute of Education and Training (DIET), Udupi.
