CBSE to Supreme Court
SG Mehta, stated to the Supreme Court that the board has filed an affidavit, taking into consideration the reports submitted by the states. In effect, the board has decided not to conduct the exams from July 1. Speaking in the court, SG said, “Our affidavit filed half an hour back states that taking into account suggestion from States, exam for Class 10 and 12 from July 1 stands cancelled.”
He further added that all the Class 10 examinations have been cancelled. Class 12 examination, however, is optional. “CBSE has a scheme in which marks scored in past 3 exams will be taken into account. For Class 12, the exams will be conducted “as soon as the situation is conducive. Marks for the students who opt for the class 12 examination will have that marks as final.”
CBSE Class 12 students would have to share their decision on whether to opt for the examination at a later date or to accept the marks based on the three previous examinations, as scored by the student. Supreme Court has directed CBSE to reword its reply to ensure that there is no confusion in the minds of the student and the parents.
ICSE BOARD (CiSCE) has also decided to follow CBSE’s decision and would cancel ICSE,ISE, exam schedules in July.
The board, however, unlike CBSE, would not give an option to the Class 12 students to appear for the exams later. The ICSE, ISC exams 2020 are hence concluded and no exams would be conducted later.
