Therefore, these students will not be included in the average marking policy and will be judged on their performances. He, however, mentioned that marks for the practical exams will be given as per the pre-defined policy.
Though Punjab is expected to come up with a detailed policy in this regard in the next couple of days, sources familiar with the development have suggested that the SSC-II students might get 50 percent of total practical marks, along with some grace marks in the total, so that they can also benefit from the policy like all other students.
