It is learnt that an 18-member panel has been formed to look into syllabus cut. Tamil Nadu School Education Minister K A Sengottaiyan would submit the report by November 30 to the Chief Minister Edappadi K. Palaniswami, said a report by Times Now.  

“With the TN Public Exams 2021 for SSLC and HSE +1, +2 in mind, an 18-member panel has been set to deliberate on the same and present a report on the reduction of the syllabus.

Going by that logic the students will get to know if the exam syllabus for SSLC i.e. Class 10 and HSE +1 and HSE +2 Exams is reduced on or before 5th December 2020. Along with confirming the timeline for the decision on reduction of school syllabus, the state government also dismissed the news of conducting half-yearly examinations online amid rising speculation and rumours about the same.
