NEW DELHI: Amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the fate of lakhs of students is also hanging when it comes to their CBSE, CISCE board exams.

Meanwhile, as per the latest reports, the chances of examination getting scrapped is showing a clear sign with the passing of each day.

It is to be mentioned here that, India Wide Parents Association (IWPA) has written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi seeking cancellation of the examinations due to the rising coronavirus cases in the country.

Further, the association urged PM Modi to reconsider the decision on 12th Board Exams 2021 and suggested that students can be evaluated on the basis of their past performance, and colleges, if required, can have an aptitude test.

Earlier the CBSE had postponed the class 12 board exams, scheduled to begin from May 4, and had said that a final decision will be taken on June 1. "A notice of at least 15 days will be given before the start of the examinations," the board had said while announcing the postponement.

Later, CISCE and several state boards followed the suit and deferred class 12 boards. But now, with the unprecedented surge in coronavirus cases, students, parents and a section of teachers have been pushing for the cancellation of offline exams. Students have requested the board and education ministry to promote them on the basis of internal assessment and pre-board exams.

Delhi Deputy CM and Education Minister Manish Sisodia had also requested the government to promote Class 12 students on the basis of internal assessment and pre-board exams.

On the other hand, to make their demands heard, students as well as parents took to Twitter and shared their opinions using hashtags like #modiji_cancel12thboards, CancelExamsSaveStudents, and #CancelBoardExams2021.
