Background
CBSE, ICSE 12th Exam: Supreme Court of India will be hearing a plea seeking the cancellation of the Class 12 board examinations to be held by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) and the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examination (CISCE) in view of the covid-19 pandemic on Friday, May 28, 2021.
The plea filed in the Supreme Court has asked for the CBSE and CISCE notifications of April 14,16 and 19, to be set aside with respect to clauses dealing with the postponement of the Class 12 board examination.
Advocate Mamta Sharma has filed the petition, asking the court to frame an objective methodology for the declaration of Class 12 results within a specific time frame. "In view of the unprecedented health emergency and rising numbers of the Covid-19 cases in the country, the conduct of examination, either offline or online or blended in upcoming weeks is not possible, and delay in the examination will cause irreparable loss to the students as time is the essence in taking admission in higher education courses in foreign universities," the plea said.
However, as per the high-level meeting held on May 23, 2021, with all the states/UT education ministers, secretaries, and other officials to discuss the pending Class 12 board exams, the final decision on the matter is likely to be announced on June 1, 2021.
