The government of Tamil Nadu has decided not to conduct
class 10th exams and remaining exams of class 11th this
year. The decision came after the Madras High Court asked government to
consider postponing the exams as the number of cases of COVID-19 positive
people continues to grow. Final decision on class 12th exams will be
taken later.
For class 11th, exams of subjects such as chemistry
and accountancy could not be held. The supplementary and arear exams for class
12th students have been postponed and fresh dates will be announced
later.
In Chennai and some other districts, COVID-19 cases are on
rise and Mr. Palaniswami said epidemiologists have opined that there is no
scope for reduction in the spread of pathogen. Hence, considering the
representation of parents and present trend of coronavirus spread, the board
exams of class 10th and for the subjects that could not be conducted
for class 11th are fully cancelled and students are declared
promoted.
New agency ANI has tweeted quoting Tamil Nadu Chief Minister
Edappadi K Palaniswami, “Students of classes 10th and 11th to be promoted on
the basis of quarterly and half-yearly exam results as well as their
attendance; their exams stand cancelled. Decision regarding class 12th exams
will be taken in coming days.”
