On April 14, after a meeting attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union education minister Ramesh Pokhriyal, a decision was taken to cancel the Class 10 Board exams and postpone the Class 12 exams. It was also decided that the Class 10 results will be arrived at on the basis of an internal assessment, as devised by the CBSE (Central Board of Secondary Education). For Class 12, however, the situation will be reviewed on June 1 and there will be a notice of at least 15 days before holding the board exams.
