CBSE Class 12 Board Exams 2021: The Centre on Monday informed the Supreme Court that it will take a final decision within the next two days on whether to conduct class 12 board exams amid the ongoing Covid pandemic.
Attorney General K K Venugopal told the bench of Justices A M Khanwilkar and Dinesh Maheshwari that the decision would be taken in the next two days.
To this, the bench said: “No issue. You take the decision. You are entitled to it.” However, it said, that “if you (Centre) are departing from the policy of last year, then you must give tangible reasons for it”.
On June 26, 2020, the SC had approved the schemes of the CBSE and CISCE for cancellations of remaining board examinations scheduled from July 1 to 15 last year due to the Covid and also approved their formula for assessment of examinees, according to news agency PTI.
Today, the attorney general told the bench that the “government will take a final decision within the next two days”. “We are hoping that your lordships will give us time till Thursday (June 3) so that we can come back with the final decision,” he added.
