02.       Informatics Practices                          -           Code No.065

03.       Multimedia and Web Technology       -           Code No.067

 

            Till now a candidate could opt for one or two or all the three of the above courses at Senior Secondary level.  This rule has been amended as follows:-

 

• A CANDIDATE CAN OPT FOR EITHER COMPUTER SCIENCE OR INFORMATICS PRACTICES.
• IN ADDITION TO EITHER OF THESE COURSES A CANDIDATE CAN OPT FOR MULTIMEDIA AND WEB TECHNOLOGY.
• THUS A CANDIDATE CAN OPT FOR A MAXIMUM OF ONLY TWO  IT – BASED COURSES AT SENIOR SECONDARY LEVEL.

 

All the Heads of Institutions are requested to bring it to the notice of all concerned.  Due care may be taken at the time of filling in the LIST OF CANDIDATES for the Board Examination, March 2007.
