The Delhi government had last week issued guidelines for schools asking them to close specific wings or classrooms wherever any student or teacher is found infected. The Haryana education department also directed schools in the state not to make it mandatory for students to attend in-person classes after many students and staff in various schools across NCR cities tested positive for COVID-19.

A Twitter user asked CBSE, “The pressure of the board can’t be handled once and you are forcing the batch that is at home since 10th board to take the exam twice in different ways?”

एक बार बोर्ड का प्रेशर हैंडल नहीं होता और आप दो दो बार उस बैच को अलग अलग तरीके से परीक्षा देने पर मजबूर कर रहें हैं जो 10th बोर्ड के बाद से घर पर है? #cancelboardexam2022

“No one takes our responsibility rather than our parents. So, please cancel the board exam 2022 because the life of students matters for their families. But not to the business of the government, CBSE and ICSE,” said another student in a tweet.
