New Delhi : The pending board examinations for class 10 and 12, which were scheduled to take place from 1-15 July, now stand cancelled, told Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) to Supreme Court today.
The decision came amid the outbreak of novel coronavirus in the country as well as the lockdown situation that was imposed to contain the virus spread.
The education board said that it would conduct the remaining exams when the conditions become conducive.
However, Class XII students can opt for exams to be conducted later, CBSE told the top court. The details of the same will release later.
But the same provision is not applicable for class X students. The class 10 board examinations will not have an option for re-examination later. The students of 10th standard will be assessed on basis of performance in last three exams, SC was told.
