NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court has dismissed the plea against the cancellation of 12th board exams. The apex court said that the evaluation criteria to assess the students is "fair and reasonable and there is no reason to interfere with the CBSE and CISCE schemes.

A vacation bench of Justices AM Khanwilkar and Dinesh Maheshwari heard the response of CBSE and ICSE. The 12th board examinations were cancelled due to the COVID-19 situation in the country.

Earlier, Senior Lawyer Vikas Singh said, “Even a senior Mathematics teacher couldn’t understand the CISCE’s evaluation scheme completely then how can students understand it?”

In response to that Justice Khanwilkar said, "We cannot go by individual's view. If the scheme is discriminatory, we can understand but cannot go by an individual,” the report added.

The Supreme Court has asked both boards to clarify the petitioner's complaints. Meanwhile, the court will also hear the petition filed by Class 12 private and compartment students against the board’s decision on holding physical examinations amid the prevailing COVID-19 pandemic.

The board has earlier announced conducting optional CBSE board exams tentatively from August 15 to September 15, 2021, depending on the COVID-19 situation.
