CBSE & CISCE Students Move Supreme Court, Seek Online Option for Board Exams 2022 – Education News
A group of six students have moved the Supreme Court seeking an option of taking the upcoming board exams 2022 in hybrid mode. Currently, both national boards – CBSE and CISCE have decided to hold term 1 board exams in offline mode.
While the CISCE had earlier given the option to students to take term 1 board exams in either offline or online mode, it later took a u-turn and said it would hold exams in offline mode only.
Now, a writ petition has been filed which seeks urgent directions from the apex court for both CBSE and CISCE on holding class 10 and 12 board exams in both online and online modes. Students demand that since there has been a sharp increase in COVID-19 cases again in the country, there should be an option of appearing for exams in online mode. The petition has been filed by Advocate Sumanth Nookala. This year both boards will hold class 10 and 12 exams twice. Both board exams will begin in November.
Fearing the exams could be a “super spreader” event, students claim that exposure through offline exams could increase the risk of COVID-19 infections. Further students appearing for board exams are under 18 years of age and hence could not be vaccinated. Both CBSE and CISCE have already informed that they will hold exams amid the COVID-19 safety protocol.
