Madhya Pradesh Board of Secondary Education (MPBSE) has decided to resume its examinations for classes 10 and 12 students but only for those subjects which are necessary for students to get admission to higher education institutions, as per the board officials.
Notably, the board postponed all its remaining examinations scheduled to be held from March 20, 2020 to April 11, 2020, till further orders in view of Coronavirus outbreak as examinations would have meant gathering of students at examination centres and their being exposed to the threat of contracting the virus.
As per the board’s schedule the examination for the class 10 was scheduled to be held from March 3 to March 27 and that of class 12 from March 2 to March 31. But for the differently abled students of class 12 the examination was scheduled to be conducted till April 11.
First, the examinations were postponed up to March 31 with an order issued on March 19 but given the magnitude of Covid-19 outbreak the examinations were later postponed till further orders with a subsequent order of March 25.
