State Government today announced that all the students of Inter first year will be passed in Telangana.

Related orders are expected soon, she said.
Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao directed the education department to pass all the first-year students, she said. In the results, as much as 51 percent of students failed and only 49 percent of students passed in Intermediate first year examinations. This led to wide protests by the students and parents.
Keeping a better future in view to enable the students to compete with future examinations we have decided to pass them all, she announced. She said that the Inter Board and its officials did not commit any mistake as alleged by the students or others.
