Safety Nets for Failed or Dissatisfied Students: Scrutiny and Compartment Exams

If a student is dissatisfied with their performance or has failed in any subject/s, DBSSSE has two primary options in such cases:

Verification & Scrutiny:

• Students can apply for verification of their marks if they believe there has been an error in totaling or recording.
• Applications for verification are typically accepted through the official student login or via email.

On-Demand Examination:

• A unique feature of DBSSSE is the On-Demand Examination system, allowing students to appear for exams in specific months (such as June, July, or August) if they fail to qualify in the main March/April session.
• This ensures that students do not lose an entire academic year and can progress to higher education quickly.
