A big decision has been taken in the meeting chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi regarding Board Examinations to be conducted in this pandemic. In this meeting the 12th Class Board Exam decision has been cancelled. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, Prakash Javadekar, Piyush Goyal, Dharmendra Pradhan, Nirmala Sitharaman and many senior officials of the Ministry of Education were present in this meeting. On the decision to cancel 12th Class CBSE Examination, PM Narendra Modi said that the health and safety of students is of utmost importance. Their safety is our priority in this pandemic. There will be no compromise on that aspect. Anxiety among students, parents and teachers must end. Students should not be forced to take the exam in such a stressful situation.

The government issued a statement saying that like last year, if some students wish to take the examination, then such an option will be provided to them by CBSE if the situation becomes favourable. In view of the uncertain circumstances caused by Covid 19 and the response received from stakeholders, it has been decided that Class 12 Board Examination will not be conducted this year. CBSE will take steps to compile the results of Class 12 students as per well defined objective criteria in a time bound manner.

Earlier, Union Education Minister, Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank was about to take a decision on Board Exams today, but after a sudden deterioration in his health, he has been admitted to AIIMS in Delhi. The Ministry of Education has to inform the Supreme Court of its decision regarding the examinations by June 03. On May 31, the central government had sought two days' time from the Supreme Court to decide on the examinations. In such a situation, Prime Minister Narendra Modi himself will preside over this meeting.

CBSE had on April 14 announced the cancellation of Class 10 exams and postponement of Class 12 exams in view of the increase in Corona virus cases. The Education Ministry had recently sought detailed suggestions from states and union territories on the proposals discussed in a high-level meeting on the issue. The government has informed the Supreme Court, which is hearing a plea seeking cancellation of the examination, that it will take a final decision by June 3.

On the other hand, Delhi Chief Arvind Kejriwal has demanded to cancel the CBSE examination. He tweeted and wrote that I appeal to the Central Government to cancel the Class 12 Board Exams and evaluate the students on the basis of past performance.
