Around 14,000 students of Classes 10 and 12, who were not satisfied with their board exam results declared on the basis of past performance in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, appeared physically for exams in Madhya Pradesh on Monday, an official said. The state government has organised a special annual examination from Monday for students of Classes 10 and 12 of the 2020-21 academic session, who were unhappy with the grades that they got based on marks scored by them in their previous classes, MP Board of Secondary Education's (MPBSE) public relations officer S K Chourasia told PTI. All COVID-19 protocols were being followed while conducting the exams, he said. The official said students who were absent for a long time from school or had failed were also given the opportunity to appear for the exams physically, but their number was quite less. "Mainly, the students who are unhappy with their grades are appearing for the tests," he said.
