Plea to Cancel Class 12 Exams Filed in Supreme Court

A Plea to cancel Class 12 examination 2021 has been filed in the Supreme Court. The petition in SC is directed towards the Centre, Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), and the CISCE. “Conducting Class 12 board examination is not possible because of surging COVID-19 cases. Even online or offline examinations are not feasible because of unprecedented pandemic. Delay in declaration of Class 12 results will hamper students taking admission in foreign universities”, the petition said. “CBSE and CISCE must devise an object methodology to declare the results within specified time otherwise it will affect around 12 lakh students,” it added. Along with the plea, many students have also asked for exam cancellation by campaigning on social media.
