The Board of Intermediate Education in Telangana (BIE) which has been facing flak over the last few days over alleged bungling in declaration of results, Friday extended the date for paying fees for supplementary exam from April 27 to 29.
The Board said in a release that the last date for applying for re-verification of answer sheets of passed students is April 27.
Protests by some political parties and students' organisations, which began a few days ago against the alleged goof-up, continued on Friday.
The Congress, TDP, BJP and other parties had met Governor E S L Narasimhan on Thursday and sought a judicial probe into the issue.
The Congress-led delegation had claimed that 20 students allegedly committed suicide after the declaration of results, following the alleged goof up by BIE.
Chief Minister K Chadrasekhar Rao had directed officials not to charge any fee for re-verfication and re-counting from failed students, which was among a series of measures announced to provide relief to students.
The government had also appointed a committee of technical experts to look into the issue.
