The state has scrapped the rule that said that students could apply for the stream only if they scored 40 marks.

"We have scrapped the rule to allow more students to join the science stream. We are encouraging the move as students in science stream can switch to whichever stream they choose," said Rajendra Darda, school education minister. The old rule was framed as there were limited seats for science.
