As the Centre has recently announced the news of the CBSE Class 12 Board exam cancellation, the internet has given a mixed reaction to this decision.
Some of the Twitteratis have reacted positively appreciating the government's concern for the student's health. While some have requested to keep the exams online saying that they have studied day and night for it.
The students of boards other than CBSE raised their concerns that the pandemic affects all students alike and hence the Class 12 exams of all boards must be cancelled. The Council For the Indian School Certificate Examination also cancelled the exams for class 12 students.

I appreciate this decision and many thanks from all the students
Thank You A lot sir @narendramodi 😍
Good! Let our kids utilize their valuable time being home to experiment all that they learnt at institution. Brain work to be supported by their parents in finding new ways or needful inventions. This is the time for students to use their time at hand valuably.

For others, the Board exam cancellation was not really good news. They were seen requesting that the exam must be taken at least online as they have worked really hard for the Boards.
If there are students who are raising their voices for cancellation of exams, then there are those students too who want to give exams... You can't be partial, so what if we aren't majority but we too exist ..We have been tirelessly studying from past 1.5 year.we want justice

I asked him the reason & he said “I was well prepared for RANK 1 but Modi uncle tweeted that exams have been cancelled.

The students of other boards are also requesting for cancellation of exams for them as the COVID-19 pandemic has hit all students the same and hence all the exams must be cancelled.
Sir what about state board, even we are the students of INDIA this is what we call partiality. Even we have a life even we need to be safe and more over all that writing exams after listening to online class is not an easy task. Think about it and take a good decision.

The CBSE student of Class 12 had also filed a PIL in the Supreme Court against the two options that CBSE had proposed to conduct the exams. The decision of Board exam cancellation came before the next hearing of Supreme which is going to happen n June 3.
The cancellation request was also supported by political leaders like Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, Congress senior member Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, Akhilesh Yadav and more. The Delhi CM had tweeted a little while ago saying, "I appeal to the Central government that the Class 12 board exams must be cancelled, and students should be evaluated based on their previous performance."
