Amid the growing demand to cancel the CBSE Class 12 Board Exam 2021, Union Education Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal has hinted that the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is expected to conduct CBSE Class 12 Board Exam 2021 but in a “limited” format. Pokhriyal said that the CBSE may take this decision in order to ensure the “safety” and “future” of students.
It is to be noted that lakhs of Class 12 students across the country are waiting for the Union government and the CBSE to take a final call over the conduct of CBSE Class 12 Board Exam 2021 with many students demanding that the CBSE Class 12 Board Exam 2021 must be cancelled due to rising coronavirus cases in the country.
“Conducting examinations for students in the prevailing Covid scenario is a huge challenge that does not need elaboration. This is especially so, when it comes to the Class XII board examinations, which play a significant role in every student’s career graph and roadmap for life,” wrote Education Minister Dr Ramesh Pokhriyal ‘Nishank’ in an opinion piece in The Indian Express.
The minister also mentioned that “almost everyone” present at the May 21 high-level meeting with state education secretaries and ministers agreed that “having limited exams is the best course to follow” for CBSE Class 12 Board Exam 2021.
“Everyone agrees that this is the first level of critical evaluation and assessment that decides the categorisation of merit, career choices and pursuance of higher academic goals,” Pokhriyal wrote.
“We had faced similar challenges in 2020, too, and we not only successfully carried out the board examinations, but also conducted competitive examinations like JEE and NEET, wherein more than 21 lakh students participated,” he added.
