Odisha: Fail System Introduced For Class 5, 8 Students, What This Means?
As per the rule, if a child fails the examination, they will be given the opportunity for a re-examination within two months from the result declaration date.
The Odisha government has implemented a fail system for the Class 5 and 8 annual examinations starting from the current academic year, according to an official notification. To enforce this decision, the government made necessary amendments to the Odisha Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Rules, 2010, on Wednesday, reported PTI.
As stated by a notification from the School and Mass Education Department, regular examinations for Class 5 and 8 will be conducted at the end of each academic year.
If a child fails the examination, they will receive additional instruction and be given the opportunity for a re-examination within two months from the result declaration date.
'If the child appearing in the re-examination…..fails to fulfil the promotion criteria again, he/she shall be held back in fifth class or eighth class, as the case may be," said the notification.
However, no child will be expelled from any school before completing their elementary education, the order added.
In December last year, the Government of India amended the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2010 (RTE Act 2010). The amendments permit states to conduct regular exams for Class 5 and 8 students and retain them if they fail. These changes follow five years after the RTE Act was amended in 2019.
To successfully pass the Odisha Board exams, students must achieve a minimum of 33 per cent marks in each subject as well as overall. Students who fail to achieve the minimum passing marks can appear for the compartment exams.
Meanwhile, a total of 94.93 per cent of the students have cleared the class 10 exams this time. The pass percentage among girls was 96 per cent and among boys, it was 94 per cent. On the other hand, a total of 82.77 per cent of the students cleared the exam class 12 this time. A total of 77.88 per cent of boys and 87.24 per cent girls passed the exam.

At 102, This WWII Veteran Is Finally Having His Bar Mitzvah. What Is It And Why Now?
Last Updated: Set to celebrate his birthday next month, World War II stalwart Harold Terens is planning his Bar Mitzvah ceremony next year. A 102-year-old World War II veteran is looking forward to celebrating his birthday, while also planning to undergo the Bar Mitzvah ceremony at the Pentagon for the first time in his life. According to Jewish culture, the Bar Mitzvah refers to a coming-of-age ceremony for boys at the age of 13, which marks their transition to adulthood and also their obligation to follow the Jewish commandments. However, Harold Terens, who will be celebrating his 102nd birthday amid family and friends in Florida on August 6, said he never underwent the Jewish ceremony in his childhood, even as his brother took part in the Bar Mitzvah. The WWII stalwart believes it is never too late for him to fulfil his wish to go through the transition, and he is planning for the ceremony next year at the Pentagon outside Washington. 'I mentioned that I would like to be bar mitzvahed at 103, and he's the rabbi of the Pentagon, so that's my next bucket list. I am going to be bar mitzvahed in the Pentagon," he added. As per Terens' account of WWII contribution, the veteran official played an influential role, helping repair planes returning from France so that they could rejoin the battle. Twelve days after D-Day, Terens went to France and brought the Germans and American prisoners of war back to England. In June 2024, the war veteran was honoured by the French government at the 80th anniversary of the country's liberation from the cruel Nazis under their inhumane leader Adolf Hitler. Apart from his war credentials and reward, Terens also hit the news for marrying 97-year-old Jeanne Swerlin last year. 'I thought my wedding in Normandy last year was the highlight of my life," he said, adding, 'Number one of all the moments of my life. You know, that's the saying, that life is not measured by how many breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away." view comments First Published: July 28, 2025, 09:52 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
