Students of every school except for class 10th and 12th have been promoted and the school is taking all the responsibility of completion of the course. Teachers are taking online lectures and regular assignments and notes are given to the students. For Class 10th and 12th students, some examinations are still remaining to be conducted. Due to the lockdown period, it is very difficult for the authority to conduct exams of all the students.
