Almost 3 million students across India have given the CBSE Class X and Class XII board examinations in 2020.
The CBSE Class X and XII board examinations as to be held between July 1-15, 2020 stand cancelled, said the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) to the Supreme Court (SC).
Similarly, advocate Jaideep Gupta appearing for CISCE at the SC said that they will also follow the CBSE decision of cancelling examinations. Hence, the board has decided to cancel ICSE/ISC examinations.
When it comes to CBSE, Mehta said that for Class X remaining board exams stand cancelled. These exams were to be held only for North-East Delhi that was hit by violence in February 2020.
For CBSE Class XII Board Exam 2020, the board told SC that for remaining papers, students will be given an opportunity to give exams at a future date when conditions are conducive. Those students who don't wish to give exams in the future will be marked based on past assessments for the remaining subjects.
The Supreme Court has said that it will give its final order on this matter on June 26.
The remaining papers of the board examinations were originally scheduled to be held in March 2020 but had to be postponed due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak.
After discussions with the human resource development ministry, the exams were rescheduled to July 2020.
