New Delhi: A crucial meeting, chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, on the conduct of Class XII board examinations is scheduled to take place on Tuesday evening.
In the meeting, PM Modi will be briefed on all possible options following extensive discussions with all states and other stakeholders, Government of India sources told NDTV.
After the Union Government has announced that the Class XII board exams will be held, the states have started declaring either the pattern in which board exams will be held or their expected dates. Many others including Delhi, Punjab and Jharkhand have shown dissent at the Centre’s call to hold the exams.
The CBSE had proposed two modes of exams during a virtual meeting on Sunday, May 23. The first option was exams at designated centres for 19 major subjects and the second was to conduct exams twice depending upon the conducive situation.
“For minor subjects assessment can be based on performance in major subjects. This can be done if three months time period is clearly and safely available to the board. August could be a likely month for holding the exams and the whole process is likely to go on till September end,” a source was quoted as saying by news agency PTI.
