As per the decision taken in a meeting after participating in a meeting convened by the Centre on the Class 12 board exams conducted on May 23, it is likely that states will share their respective stands on board exams today.
The Education Ministry had asked all the states and union territories (UTs) to send their suggestions on class 12 board examinations by May 25.
The CBSE had proposed two options to the Education Ministry for evaluation of Class 12 students — conducting exams in the existing format only for around 20 major subjects or conducting one-and-half hour objective type exams of major subjects for students in their own schools.
Several states such as Kerala, Assam, Delhi, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Haryana and Meghalaya have urged the Central government to vaccinate teachers and students on priority to ensure their safety during their time at the test centre.
