On Tuesday, the Apex Court agreed to list for Feb 23 a plea seeking cancellation of physical exams for Class X & XII to be conducted by all State Boards, CBSE, ICSE & National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS).

A bench headed by Justice AM Khanwilkar asked the Lawyer of the petitioner to serve the copy of the petition to the CBSE & all State Boards.

The Supreme Court agreed to list the matter for Wednesday after the lawyer of the petitioner urged for an urgent list of the case said that even COVID-19 situation has improved, classes have not been conducted offline.

The plea was filed by child rights activist Anubha Shrivastava Sahai seeking directions to the State Boards, CBSE, ICSE, NIOS who are going to conduct board exams for X & XII in offline mode to pass a notification regarding alternate mode of assessment instead of offline exams.

The plea has also sought the relief of the constitution of a committee for deciding the formula of assessment of students including compartment students & declaring the result within a time limit & deadline.
