In view of the COVID-19 situation across the country, several students, parents, and teachers have urged the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) to conduct the upcoming Class 10 and 12 board examinations online.
This comes at a time when the demand for the cancellation of CBSE board examinations 2021 is growing louder with every passing day. According to reports, CBSE has recently stated that the board examinations 2021 will be held as per schedule in offline mode. Moreover, it has informed that students should not believe any fake news circulating on social media with regards to the exams.
However, over one lakh CBSE students across the country have signed a petition on change.org urging the CBSE to cancel the upcoming board examinations due to the pandemic and the rising number of coronavirus cases.
In addition, several parents have also appealing to the CBSE to conduct the board examinations 2021 in online mode. “The entire syllabus, including practicals were held online. Why boards are adamant on conducting the exams in paper and paper mode”, asked the guardian, while talking to the leading daily.
On the other hand, earlier on April 9, the state government postponed the Maharashtra Public Service Commission (MPSC) examination scheduled for April 11 till further orders. The decision was taken in an online meeting chaired by Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray. Moreover, it was attended by cabinet ministers, Leader of Opposition in the Legislative Council Pravin Darekar, MNS chief Raj Thackeray and senior officials.
