Bihar’s education department announces it will change how exam results are described on Class 10 and Class 12 marksheets. Instead of using the “fail” label, the board will write wording indicating the student is “eligible for skill training” (described as a “Kaushal ke liye patra” certificate in Hindi), aiming to avoid negative labelling.
Alongside the marksheet wording change, outlets report the state will run additional support for students who need to appear again. NDTV and Times of India both say the department plans month-long special classes for Matric supplementary candidates. The reforms also include wider school-level measures such as no-bag days on Saturdays, creative activities, and digital or additional student support intended to encourage vocational and skill-oriented learning.
Across coverage, the main focus is consistent: Bihar adopts more student-supportive language on official documents and pairs it with structured follow-up instruction. The outlets differ mainly in the phrasing used for the marksheet update and the emphasis on specific components of the broader education reforms.
