‘I PU assessment should not be misinterpreted as a test’

The first year pre-university (I PU) assessment announced by the Department of Pre-University Education should not be misinterpreted as a test, said Primary and Secondary Education Minister S. Suresh Kumar on Friday. He added that students were not required to come to college to submit the assessment.

Every student will be allotted the passing 35% marks.
