“It is decided that instead of holding exams in routine manner, they would be held in a concise manner with few subjects and less marks than usual by following Covid-19 protocol. Detailed decisions are likely to be taken within the next 7-10 days,” he added.
“The entire process of holding exams is likely to be over by September 5. The health department has informed us that though the Covid19 situation will improve in July, it won’t be conducive to conduct exams next month. The likely dates for exams could fall between August 1 and August 15,” Pegu said.
“We arrived at a consensus that exams should be held, which was what the education department has been suggesting. The number of Covid19 cases is going down steadily in the state and in the coming days we should be able to formulate SOPs on exams,”
Assam education minister Ranoj Pegu said.
