Class XII Board Exams: Is it viable to risk students’ lives.

 

 

NEW DELHI : The CBSE Class XII board exams should be cancelled, and results must be declared by mid-July based on internal assessments of schools with support from external experts, industry body Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (Ficci) has recommended to the union government.

Ficci president Uday Shankar has written a letter to education minister Ramesh Pokhriyal underlining the need to cancel the board exams and how a "once in a century pandemic calls for an out-of-the-box solution". Shankar has written that delayed exam schedule will derail the higher education calendar and may mar the foreign university aspirations of at least 500,000 Indian students.
