This decision came soon after CBSE decided to cancel its pending Class 10 and 12 exams and award marks as per student’s performance in the last three exams conducted at the school level.
The apex court is hearing a case based on a plea filed by parents of students who are due to appear for the pending board examination. The petition calls for cancellation of the pending ICSE Exams 2020 in the light of the increasing number of Coronavirus cases in the country.
