Earlier too, Telangana witnessed student deaths by suicide after the declaration of intermediate exam results.

In December 2021, after six students died by suicide, the state government had declared everyone as “passed” to reduce stress on students so that they could appear in the intermediate final-year exams.

TS Inter results 2023 were declared on 9 May. As many as 9.47 lakh students appeared in the Telangana exam. A total of 4,82,677 first-year students and 4,65,022 second-year students were eligible to write the exams which was conducted at 1,473 centers across the state.

Students, who have secured 35 per cent of the aggregate marks, were declared qualified in the exam. However, for CWSN students, the qualifying marks are 25 per cent.
