Thousands of students may lose global university slots
With the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) in India proposing to conduct class 12 examinations between July and August and declare results in September, uncertainty looms over the future of thousands of students who plan to study abroad and who will miss the deadlines set by their universities for submission of class 12 marks, writes Fareeha Iftikhar for the
Hindustan Times.
Other boards will likely follow the schedule adopted by CBSE. Most students and parents were hoping a decision would be taken to cancel the exams on account of the risk that comes from holding a large event. International boards such as IB (International Baccalaureate) have already cancelled their final exams.
