Education boards get BMC nod to hold exams

The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has allowed State, national and international educational boards to hold exams physically in Mumbai by following COVID-19 guidelines. Last month, citing fear of a second wave, the BMC deferred the reopening of schools and colleges till January 15. However, it has now decided to permit the boards to conduct examinations. Not doing so could result in the loss of a year for students, the BMC said in its order issued on Tuesday night.
