The announcement for the cancellation of the CBSE exams for class 10 and the postponement of the same for class 12 students was made on Wednesday.
Prime minister Narendra Modi along with Education Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal 'Nishank' held a meeting to make an announcement about the latest development regarding the examination.
"The Board Exams for Class Xth to be held from 4th May to June 14th, 2021 are hereby cancelled. The results of Class Xth Board will be prepared on the basis of an objective criterion to be developed by the Board. Any candidate who is not satisfied with the marks allocated to him/her on this basis will be given an opportunity to sit in an exam as and when the conditions are conducive to hold the exams," said the education ministry.
Class 10 students will be passed on the basis of internal assessment
After the big announcement was made, desi Twitterati started joyously reacting to it. Earlier, many politicians such as Arvind Kejriwal, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra had appealed for the cancellation of the CBSE exams due to the worsening COVID-19 situation in the country.
Bollywood actor Sonu Sood congratulated the students as soon as the news came out. He had been supporting the cancellation of the CBSE exams for a long time.
So finally it happened.
