Basu also said that officials of his department will sit for talks with senior members of the board of secondary education and the council of higher secondary education, and a decision would be taken in consultation with chief minister Mamata Banerjee, keeping all safety concerns in mind.
"In the past 100 years, the world hasn't faced a crisis situation such as the one we are facing right now. There is, however, a rule of nature, and the pandemic would not rage on forever.
Once the situation is brought under control the exams can be held," he told reporters at Bikash Bhavan -- the state education department headquarters.
The minister further said that midday meals will be made available in all schools, where buildings were being converted into COVID-safe homes in accordance with the administration's directions. State board examinations for Class 10 and 12 were earlier slated to be held in June.
