After a gap of around 17 years, students who are answering their Secondary School Certificate Examinations (SSC) and High Secondary School Certificate Examinations (HSSC) will be issued a separate passing certificate apart from the marksheet, Secretary of Goa Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education (GBSHSE) Bhagirath Shetye said on Tuesday.
The passing certificate will also bear the candidate’s photograph as well as a QR code.
The system of two separate certificates, which used to be followed before 2002, later changed to a combined “marksheet cum passing certificate” for students over the past several years. But the GBSHSE has now decided to revert to the former system.
Shetye informed ‘The Goan’ that while students will be issued their marksheets as always after the results are announced, the passing certificate will not be issued until
New coding system this year
PANAJI: In a move that will facilitate the administration of SSC and HSSC exams, the Goa Board has devised a new coding system that will allow all exam conductors to share a link with the list of how many students were present and absent for a given exam to the Secretary of the Goa Board on a daily basis. This system will facilitate cross-checking of candidates and their signatures, Secretary of the Goa Board Bhagirath Shetye told ‘The Goan’.
