Class 12 students of the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) have approached the Supreme Court seeking cancellation of their board examination for private, compartment and repeaters.
The intervention application filed by Mamta Sharma sought direction to the board to arrive at a formula for performance evaluation of the Class XII private, compartment, and repeater students in line with the assessment formula adopted by CBSE and other Boards for regular students and to release the results in a time-bound manner.
The plea stated, “That owing to the prevailing Covid-19 pandemic situation in the country it is not advisable to conduct physical mode examination for the Private / Patrachar / 2nd chance Compartment candidates, as it would endanger their life and would expose them to an environment that may not be safe.”
“Most importantly, when the dates for various entrance tests, like CLAT, NEET, etc., have already been notified, keeping the date of aforesaid board examinations in abeyance, would take away the equal rights of the Class XII Private / Patrachar / 2nd chance Compartment candidates of the CBSE, to compete with other students, equally, at such national level entrance tests,” the application added.
