Struggling to pass? Karnataka just made SSLC & II PU exams simpler; check details
Karnataka is set to revise its SSLC and II PU exam evaluation from 2025-26, lowering the pass mark to 33% and incorporating internal assessments. Students must score a minimum of 30% in each subject, with practical exam formats also changing. These revisions aim to improve pass percentages, aligning with national standards like CBSE. Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads The Karnataka government has released draft rules proposing a revised evaluation pattern for SSLC and II PU examinations starting from the 2025–26 academic year. Two major changes include lowering the pass mark and factoring internal marks into the final SSLC exams, students will now need to secure 33% of the total marks to pass, down from the current 35%. Additionally, the revised rules allow students to achieve this percentage by combining internal assessment and external examination scores. A student will be declared passed if they score a minimum of 206 out of 625 marks, provided they also secure at least 30% in each total marks for the first language remain at 125, and the other subjects continue to carry 100 marks each. These amendments are part of the Karnataka Secondary Education Examination Board First Regulations (Amendment) per the draft shared on Thursday, II PU students will also be able to pass by obtaining 33% of aggregate marks across all subjects, at present, the requirement is 35%. Students must also earn at least 30% in each subject, which will now include marks from written exams, internal assessments, or subjects without practicals or internal assessments, students will need at least 24 out of 80 marks in the written exam. For subjects with practical components, candidates must score at least 21 out of 70 marks in the theory draft also introduces changes to the practical exam format. Unlike the current allocation of 30 marks, the practical component will now be evaluated out of 20 marks. The remaining 10 marks will be awarded to candidates who meet specific criteria: maintain at least 75% attendance in each subject (including theory and practicals), complete the minimum required number of practicals, properly maintain and submit a certified record book, and appear for the practical of these revisions align with practices followed by national boards like the Central Board of Secondary Education. The state's historically low pass percentages have been partly attributed to the absence of internal marks and a higher pass example, in the recent SSLC exam, out of 8.68 lakh students, only 5.28 lakh passed, resulting in a pass percentage of 62%. Similarly, in II PUC-1, 6.37 lakh students appeared, and the pass percentage stood at 69.16%.[With TOI inputs]

Meet the owners of CoinDCX and WazirX, victims of India's biggest crypto theft after platforms hit by Rs 23610000000 cyber crime
Meet the owners of CoinDCX and WazirX, victims of India's biggest crypto theft after platforms hit by Rs 23610000000 cyber crime Recently, two of India's major cryptocurrency exchanges, CoinDCX and WazirX, have become victims of serious cyber attacks. CoinDCX suffered a loss of around Rs. 378 crore (about 44 million dollars) due to a breach in one of its internal accounts. This hacking incident took place on July 19. Last year, crypto exchange WazirX was also hit by a major cyber attack, just like the recent one at CoinDCX. In that incident, hackers stole user holdings worth about USD 230 million (around Rs. 1,983 crore). Over the last few years, India has seen multiple cyber fraud cases in the crypto sector, and now CoinDCX has also joined the list of affected companies. The total value of both attacks adds up to a shocking Rs. 2,361 crore. Let's take a quick look at the people behind these two popular crypto exchanges: WazirX, Founded by Nischal Shetty Nischal Shetty is the founder and CEO of WazirX, one of India's top cryptocurrency platforms. He is from Mumbai and studied computer science at Visvesvaraya Technological University and graduated in 2007. He started his career as a software developer. In 2010, he launched his first startup called Crowdfire, a social media management app that became quite popular. In 2018, Nischal started WazirX to help more people in India learn about and use cryptocurrency. The platform grew very fast and got over 1 crore (10 million) users. In 2019, it was bought by Binance, the world's biggest crypto exchange. Later, in 2022, Nischal started a new project called Shardeum. It's a blockchain platform that is built to work for a large number of users. Its goal is to make blockchain technology easier to use and more helpful for everyone. As per a recent Business Today report, Nischal Shetty and WazirX co-founder Siddharth Menon have moved to Dubai, but WazirX still has offices in Mumbai and Bengaluru. Who owns CoinDCX? While WazirX has been in the spotlight, CoinDCX, another major Indian crypto exchange, also made headlines after the recent cyber attack. CoinDCX was founded in 2018 by Sumit Gupta and Neeraj Khandelwal. Sumit Gupta, an IIT Bombay graduate, is the current CEO of the company. At just 19 years old, he started his first business and also worked at a multinational company in Tokyo.
