The Supreme Court said there cannot be a uniform scheme for the evaluation of students of all state boards across India.

New Delhi:The Supreme Court said there cannot be a uniform scheme for the evaluation of students of all state boards across India. The court's comments came during the hearing of a petition seeking cancellation of Class 12 exams. In view of the Covid-19 pandemic, the Central Government ordered the cancellation of the CBSE class 12 exams.

Many states have decided not to conduct the exams but the state of Andhra Pradesh told the court that there are no credible alternatives for the evaluation of state board students. The state government said class 12 exams will be held mostly by the last week of July and the schedule will be announced soon. In an affidavit, it said that Covid-19 cases have been decreasing rapidly in the state.
