Unusually high rejection rates for Form-6 and deletions for Form-7 have been recorded during the pre-SIR period in Telangana.
The School Information Register (SIR) process in Telangana has witnessed an unprecedented spike in administrative rejections during the pre-SIR phase. Data indicates that a significant portion of Form-6 applications have been rejected, raising concerns about the accuracy of student enrollment records.
According to reports, the number of rejected Form-6 applications constitutes close to 27% of the total applications processed during both the pre-SIR and SIR phases. This figure is considered exceptionally high, suggesting potential issues in data entry or verification processes at the school level.
In addition to rejections, there has been a notable increase in the deletion of Form-7 entries. These deletions, combined with the high rejection rate, point to irregularities in the maintenance of student data prior to the finalization of the register.
The high volume of corrections and rejections may impact the timely completion of the SIR process, which is crucial for accurate school funding and resource allocation in the state.
