He said, “We cannot comment when we can conduct the exams. For class XII students, his/her future depends on the boards. We cannot cancel them, but can look at the situation and hold the exam later. The pandemic is severe at present in the nation so it is not possible to comment on anything.”
Regarding cancellation of class X exams, the minister said it might impact children’s future later, and no final decision had been made.
“Even if we promote Class X child, he/she will have to study for Class XI. What do we do if the students are not prepared for higher classes and if they fail in Class XII boards? We haven’t decided the dates but are working to see if we will conduct physical or online exams,” said Dotasra.
