CBSE Class 12 Board Exams Might be Scrapped Due to Covid-19 Pandemic
News 18Central Board of Secondary Education is speculated to cancel the class 12 board exam due to the surge in Covid-19 cases across the country. Keeping in view the students’ growing demand for cancellation of CBSE’s class 12 exams, the Board is expected to scrap them this year. He is quoted by the news daily as saying, “CBSE will review the situation and probably would have to work out an alternative assessment scheme for the Class 12 students.” He also told the daily that the existing pandemic situation is at least four times worse than last year and schools are likely to stay closed for the rest of the session. Others have given the priority to children’s safety and suggest that the board should immediately declare the cancellation of the exam and promote the students based on internal scores like foreign universities.
