The Karnataka government has informed the High Court that it will maintain the current practice of awarding marks for the third language in the Secondary School Leaving Certificate (SSLC) examinations. This decision comes in response to a petition filed on April 8 by three students from Chikkamagaluru and Udupi districts, challenging the government's earlier proposal to switch to a grading system for third languages, including Hindi. The announcement for the grading system was made by Madhu Bangarappa, the Minister for School Education and Literacy, after the SSLC exams had commenced but before the third language exam took place. The court's hearing highlighted the importance of consistency in evaluation methods for students.
