KHSTU writes to Bindu seeking discussions on marks normalisation

Even as uncertainty over the State engineering and pharmacy entrance examination (KEAM) 2025 results drags on, the Kerala Higher Secondary Teachers’ Union (KHSTU) has written to Minister for Higher Education R. Bindu calling for discussions on marks processes and development of tools for the same.

In a statement on Tuesday, the KHSTU said decisions taken without any discussions on such grave issues as normalisation had led to change in candidates’ ranks, putting students under immense stress and resulting in setbacks in courts. This created wrong precedent and allowed mistakes to continue, the association alleged.

The government should organise discussions and deliberation instead of taking unilateral decisions so that apprehensions of State higher secondary students’ who were unfairly disadvantaged could be addressed.
