G.O.Ms.No.28
Dated 9.2.2004

G.O.Ms.No.275, Higher Education dated 27.9.2001

From the Director of Technical Education letter No.55888/R4/2003 dated 23.9.2003

----------

ORDER:

The Director of Technical Education in his letter second read above, among other things has sent the following proposal to the Government for issue of necessary orders:

"To permit the students who have qualified in typewriting Junior Grade to appear for the Higher Grade Typewriting exam".

2) Taking into the ground realities in the field of computer education, the Government in the G.O. first read above lowered the minimum eligibility for appearance in the Junior Grade Typewriting as VIII Standard. The next level exam after ‘Junior Grade’ in Typewriting is the Higher Grade. It was opined that a student after qualifying in the Junior Grade should automatically become eligible to take up the ‘Higher Grade’ exam and prescription of any minimum academic qualification to appear for the Higher Grade for those who have already qualified in ‘Junior Grade’ does not carry any logic. It was also pointed out that a person who passed in X Standard by virtue of his academic qualification, is eligible to take up the Higher Grade without the Junior Grade. Similarly by virtue of one’s technical qualification in Junior Grade, he ought to be allowed to take up the next level technical exam viz. higher Grade.

3) The Government have examined the proposal of the Director of Technical Education taking into consideration the view points mentioned in para 2 above and decided to accept it. They accordingly direct that the students who have qualified in typewriting Junior Grade be permitted to appear for the Higher Grade typewriting examination.
