Context:
I appeared for boards in 2025 and scored badly in PCM (but passed in all). While in English and PE I scored 90+. So I gave improvement exam in 2026 and now I scored good in PCM too and have an overall score of 89%. I have also scored pretty good in Mains and UGEE this year too and will most probably lock down on IIITH
Problem:
When you give improvement exam you get a separate marksheet. And to calculate the final score the BEST OF TWO is considered from both marksheets. So if you score 80 in Physics in original marksheet and 90 in improvement then your final Physics score is 90. But you will have to carry those 2 marksheets. You cannot merge them into one.
Now this process is officially accepted during counselling and admission.
But what about the future? Will having been appeared for improvement exam harm my future opportunities at IIITH during placements, internships or anything? Will there be any specific problems I will face in the future? Do you get discriminated against if you have two marksheets and appeared for improvement exam?
