Several students are against the conduction of the Assam Class 10 and 12 board exams in the middle of the current pandemic situation.

A group of students has filed a plea in the Supreme Court against the conduction of the Assam Class 10 and Class 12 board exams for this year, in the middle of the current Covid-19 pandemic situation. Students are pushing for the cancellation of the exams. The plea, seeking to intervene as parties in a pending PIL on the issue of cancellation of 12th Board examinations of CBSE and CISCE, has been filed by some students of Assam state boards and they seek similar relief on the ground of the prevailing pandemic situation. The top court had directed the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) and Council for the Indian School Certificate Examination (CISCE) to place on record the well-defined objective criteria for assessment of students in two weeks.
