Haryana Board To Enroll Students In Class 8 Too, Decision Taken To Minimize Fake Enrollments

Class 8 students will also be enrolled with the board in Haryana

New Delhi: Haryana Board of School Education, to minimize the malpractices in enrollment of students with the board, has decided to enroll students in class 8 as well. The board has taken this decision to check fake enrollments with the board. Many students qualify class 8 through fraud means from other states and enroll themselves in the state for class 9. This also encourages commercialization and interference of middle-men. 

As reported by Patrika, Dr. Jagbir Singh, the Chairman of Haryana Board of School Education, said that the move will help minimize enrollment of fake students with the board. 

Till now, the board was conducting the enrollment process only for class 9 and class 12 students. With the enrollment process at class 8 too, it will help the board to filter out students who pass class 8 illegally from other boards and then enroll themselves in class 9 in Haryana. 

The board is also contemplating to conduct exam for class 8th through the board itself and is waiting for approval from the government. 

The board already conducts board exams for class 10 and class 12 students. If the government makes changes to RTE rules, the board will also become the conducting authority for 8th board exams.
