The Council
for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE) has submitted a proposal
to the Bombay High Court in which it said that students can choose not to
appear for the remaining exams and in such case they will be assessed based on
their performance in internal or pre-board exams.
Few papers
of ICSE exams are left as they could not be conducted due to COVID-19 pandemic.
Earlier, CISCE has decided to conduct the remaining exams from July 2 to July
12. In the proposal the CISCE has also said that “for the avoidance of doubt,
for those subjects where examinations have already been conducted, results in
those subjects will be declared based on the student’s performance in such
examinations.".
The next
hearing in this matter will be held on June 17.
During the
first hearing, ISCE has said that it had already announced safety precautions
for the children which includes sanitization of examination halls / classrooms
daily after each exam paper, maintenance of social distancing of minimum 6 feet
in seating plan, staggered entry and exit from the examination venue to avoid
overcrowding, thermal screening of students and staff.
The council has also mentioned that students will
not be allowed to share or borrow stationary from other students. Meanwhile,
the plea was filled in the Supreme Court seeking the quashing of the
notification for conducting remaining exams of class 12.
