“Conducting Class 12 board examination is not possible because of surging COVID-19 cases. Even online or offline examinations not feasible because of an unprecedented pandemic. Delay in the declaration of Class 12 results will hamper students taking admission in foreign universities”, the petition said, according to the NDTV report.
The petition added, "CBSE and CISCE must devise an object methodology to declare the results within the specified time otherwise it will affect around 12 lakh students.”
The NDTV report further added that CBSE on the other hand refuted the media reports and said, “It is clarified that no such decision has been taken regarding CBSE Class 12 examinations as being speculated in certain sections of media. Any decision taken in this matter will be officially communicated to the public.”
