Class 11 students to write board examination

Class 11 students of the state board will now have to write board examinations from the coming academic year, State's School Education Minister K.A. Sengottaiyan  confirmed about it to media on Wednesday. 

The government has been contemplating on this idea for a long time. The suggestions were made by educationists and teachers association at the meeting chaired by the minister recently.
