Maharashtra Board Class 10, 12 exams cancelled?

The tweet also claimed that instead of exams, students will have to create an assignment and submit in their respective schools.
Dismissing this, the Maharashtra School Education Minister tweeted: "Beware! I've got to know that some morphed images of my twitter handle are being circulated to spread misinformation about exams. Only trust information from official handles and platforms. Please do not fall for any kind of misinformation."
