After the historic decision by the Central Board of Secondary Education of taking a big chance of canceling the Class 10 and Class 12 board examinations, the Rajasthan government has also announced to cancel its state board exams.
The decision was taken at a cabinet meeting led by government official and education specialist.
The State Education Minister Govind Singh Dotasara stated the board exams for Class 10 and Class 12 have been called off for this year citing the ongoing second wave of the pandemic.
Over 21.58 lakh candidates had applied for the board exams out of which 12 lakh students were from Class 10 and 9.5 lakh from Class 12.
However, there are still speculations on how marks will be allotted to the students.
