I am graduate from IGNOU. But I failed in my 6th paper i.e Math in 12th. My overall result is Pass but not given any kind of improvement exam for Math paper thinking that being a commerce student Math is not my compulsory paper. Now I am preparing for Civil Services having doubt whether my 12th marks will be hurdle in my preparation.
