New Delhi: The National Students’ Union of India (NSUI) has criticised the Centre’s decision to hold the Class XII board exams in view of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
In a meeting on Sunday, the Central Government discussed the matter of pending Class XII exams and entrance exams (JEE and NEET) in which it proposed two options for conducting Class XII exams.
“The conclusion of this meeting will do nothing but put the lives of these innocent students at risk,” NSUI said in a statement after the proposals.
“The Modi government has again proved itself to be insensitive by making a wrong call about the board exams as it will result in mass gatherings of the students ultimately putting the students as well as their families at risk.. but now rather than coming up to a safe way out they have decided to [conduct the exams] .. when the people across this country are dying of coronavirus,” NSUI president Neeraj Kundan said via the statement.
“If the government is ready to come up with an evaluation formula for many other subjects why can’t they do the same for these 19 subjects as well?” NSUI further asked.
