NEW DELHI: The remaining CBSE and ICSE Board examinations for Classes X and XII, scheduled to be held in July, have been cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Supreme Court was informed on Thursday.
The examinees of Class XII of the CBSE Board will, however, have the option of either taking the exams later or to move ahead with the assessment based on their performance in the last three internal exams. The re-exam option will not be available to Class X students.
The option of re-examination would not be available to the ICSE Board students — neither Class XII nor Class X.
A bench headed by Justice A M Khanwilkar took note of submissions of Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing for the Centre and the CBSE, that Class X and XII board examinations scheduled from July 1-15 have been cancelled.
He said a scheme has been formulated to give options to students of XII only — for re-examination or assessment based on past performance.
