Last year, TSCHE reduced the second year intermediate syllabus by 30% whereas 100% syllabus was considered for first year intermediate, the reason being disruption of offline classes with the onset of pandemic.

In addition to this, the Council was also expected to decide in the meeting upon the relaxation on the requirement of minimum marks in intermediate to be eligible for admission to various courses through the TS EAMCET 2022, the report said. Last year, the Council announced a relaxation on 45% marks however it was applicable for 2021 only. Currently, only 45% aggregate marks are required to be declared pass, it added.
