Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) announced on Monday the cancellation of Class 12 Board examination for the session 2020-21. The decision came after a meeting chaired by the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. "Uncertain conditions" caused by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and feedback from various stakeholders led to the cancellation of the examination, said the Office of the Prime Minister of India.
PM Modi said the decision to cancel the much-anticipated examination was in the interest of the health and safety of students. Earlier, the CBSE had recommended conducting the examination between July 15 and August 26. The suggestion had drawn flak from states and union territories like Punjab and the national capital, New Delhi.
Following CBSE's footsteps, Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE) also announced to scrap the Class 12 Board examination for this session. CISCE Chief Executive Gerry Arathoon said the Class 12 students will now be evaluated through an alternative scheme. With CBSE and ICSE Class 12 Board exams cancelled, students enrolled in various state boards await announcements from their respective councils.
