Covid-19: after CBSE, CISCE cancels Class 12 board exams

The Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations or CISCE on Tuesday decided to cancel Class 12 board examinations this year in view of the Covid-19 situation.

The private school board said the alternative assessment criteria will be announced soon.

The CICSE had last week asked its affiliated schools to submit data, including average of marks obtained by Class 12 students in Class 11 and during this session.

The board had postponed Class 12 exams which were scheduled from May 4 in light of the devastating second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic.
