Students failing in year-end and re-exams held two months later will have to repeat the year
'No detention' policy in classes 5, 8 scrapped

The Centre has abolished the 'no-detention policy' for classes 5 and 8 in schools under its jurisdiction, allowing them to hold back students who fail to clear year-end examinations, officials have confirmed. Following the 2019 amendment to the Right to Education Act (RTE), at least 18 states and Union Territories, including Gujarat, have already discarded the 'no-detention policy' for these two classes.

As per new norms, students who fail to meet promotion criteria will get a chance to sit in the re-exam within two months of the result declaration of annual exams.
