The SC bench adjorned the hearing till Thursday
CBSE Class 12 board exam 2021: The Supreme Court on Monday adjourned the hearing on a plea seeking cancellation of CBSE, ICSE class 12 board exam till Thursday following submission by Attorney General that government will take final decision in next two days, as reported by news agency ANI.
The plea, filed by petitioner and advocate Mamta Sharma, has also sought directions to devise an "objective methodology" to declare the result of class 12 within a specific time frame. The petition has arrayed the Centre, the CBSE and the CISCE as respondents in the matter.
The CBSE had on April 14 announced cancellation of class 10 exams and postponement of class 12 exams in view of the surge in coronavirus cases.
The Ministry of Education had recently sought detailed suggestions from the states and Union Territories till May 25 on the proposals discussed in a high-level meeting held on the issue. The CBSE has proposed conducting the exams between July 15-August 26 and the result to be declared in September.
