State Education Minister Govind Singh Dotasra, in the COVID review meeting by Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot said that it is for the security of the students to post-pone the board exams. “It is necessary to conduct class XII board examination as students have to appear for college admissions. We can conduct the class XII board examination once the situation becomes normal and will also decide about class X board examination during that time. But for class VIII it should be cancelled and rest students should be promoted,” said Dotasra.
