The Karnataka HC upheld the state government’s decision to hold the SSLC exam 2021. While all the other states cancelled the exam due to the pandemic situation and declared the results on the basis of internal assessment, the Karnataka board decided to conduct the exams just like last year. Justice B V Nagarathna and Justice Hanchate Sanjeev Kumar said that the board has followed all the guidelines to ensure safe conduction of the exam. The court has also said that no student will be forced to attend the exam.
