Puducherry: A 46-year old man and his daughter here have cleared the SSLC (Class X) public examination together, results of which were released on Monday. Subramanian, a field inspector in the Public Works Department possessed a pass certificate, testifying to his being a Standard VII candidate when he joined duty on compassionate grounds a few years ago.

He appeared for the ESLC examination (Class VIII) as a private candidate in 2017 for want of necessary qualification to get a promotion. After finishing the ESLC test, Subramanian appeared privately for the SL-Class year, official sources said on Tuesday. However, he failed in three subjects including Mathematics. Again, he made an unsuccessful attempt in the supplementary examination under compartmental system last year.
