It was announced by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) on Friday that the board exams of class X and XII will be conducted according to the prescribed schedule. Students are now going to the Supreme Court to protest against this decision of CBSE.
In the wake of the present conditions of coronavirus in the country, nearly one lakh students of class 10th and 12th had signed petitions and demanded the government to cancel the board examinations to be held in May or to be conducted online.
Along with this, the hashtag ‘Cancel Board Exams 2021’ was trended on Twitter by the examiners, parents, and teachers all over the country. But the CBSE rejected both these demands and gave a decision to hold the board examinations of class X and XII on time.
