Such records shall be preserved in the institution for verification of the authorities till the end of next academic year. It is found after subsequent verification that the internal marks awarded are not proper, the same shall be a cause for initiating action against the institution and the Headmaster/ Principal under relevant rules and for withdrawal of recognition of the institution

- a) Facility of appearing the SSC exam without school study. The existing facility of students appearing for SSC public examinations without regular school study needs to be dispensed with.

As already stated by Director of Government Examinations, there are no teachers for Arabic and Persian languages and existing a few Sanskrit teachers can be instructed to teach Telugu.

If the students of other State and take admission in VI standard in any formal schools of Telangana, it should be made mandatory that they have to study 3 languages opting 09T (Telugu) as Second language. Further, in case of students of other States take admissions in the State whose Second Language is Hindi in the previous schools they may be continued with learning Hindi as Second Language in the newly admitted schools in Telangana. Therefore, subjects like, 11E and 09U can be discontinued. Those students who join in higher classes from VII onwards coming from other states with other than Telugu Medium study may be exempted from studying II language.
- d) OSSC scheme – At present OSSC students write Oriental Telugu/ Urdu (3T/ 3U) as First Language for 80 marks and these marks raised to 100 and clarification on formative evaluation for 200 marks oriental subjects.

- ii. As per the OSSC scheme, there are three papers on oriental languages i.e. Sanskrit, Arabic and Persia for 200 marks each and examination is being conducted in two papers @100 marks per paper.
