Singla added students of Classes 5 and 8 of the Punjab School Education Board (PSEB) would be promoted based on the performance in examinations before the curfew was imposed. “In case of Class 8, practical examinations were pending, but now the board would declare results without conducting any further examinations for both the classes,” he added.
