With no end in sight to the rising COVID-19 cases across the country, the Class 12 board exams students are requesting to cancel the papers and replace them with an alternative form of assessment. This comes after the CBSE announced cancellation of Class 10 board exams and introduction of ‘objective criterion'.
The Union Ministry of Education said that, “Class 12 exams have been postponed. The board exams for Class 12 to be held from May 4 to June 14 are hereby postponed. These exams will be held hereafter. The situation will be reviewed on June 1 by the board and details will be shared subsequently. A notice of at least 15 days will be given before the start of the examinations”.
The Class 12 board exams students have used #cancel12thboardexams2021 to put forward their request on the microblogging site Twitter.
Class 12 students are requesting for cancellation of the board exams instead of postponement.
A Class 12 board exams candidate said, “I request to please cancel board exams and do not postpone it . I request to make a decision asap since the students are much confused and hence not able to focus properly. I plead”.
