The minister had directed the department to take measures for making the best use of the time of the class X students. The class X examination of UVSP had ended on April 19 and the result would be declared in June.  Rawat had opined that the gap between the examination and declaration of result can be utilised by giving provisional admission to the students in class XI.

The admission of all the students who would clear the board examination would be regularised.
