Updated: Share Article AAA The State government’s decision to cancel the II pre-university (PU) examination has students worried about competitive professional courses. However, in a move that may help ease their anxiety, the Department of Pre-University Education (DPUE) is planning to write about this to the agencies that conduct competitive entrance tests. R. Snehal, Director of DPUE, told The Hindu that the authorities would ask the agencies not to consider II PU scores as a qualifying criterion while deciding whether a student was eligible to give the test. They also plan to ask the agencies not to award any weightage to marks while allotting ranks.
