New Delhi: A day after the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) on Wednesday announced that it will conduct term 2 exams from April 26, students asked the board to defer the exam. Taking to Twitter, candidates have claimed that they had six months to prepare for term 1, while they got only two months to prepare for 50 per cent of the syllabus for final exams.
“It’s better to cancel than wait till April 26th, at this rate CBSE cant be trusted to release the result on time, look at term 1”, tweeted a student. “Double board is an experiment on us. Each one has suffered through covid symptomatic/asymptomatic situations. Our family is also trapped in pandemics. Destiny has already experimented on us and checked our tolerance/immunity. CBSE you stop playing with us”, another student wrote on social media.
Echoing similar remarks, several other students took to the micro-blogging site voicing their demands for the cancelation of the term 2 board exams. Check some of the tweets below:-

For the unversed, the CBSE has shifted to the two-term board-exam pattern from the academic year 2021-2022 onwards, in the wake of the ongoing pandemic situation. While the term 1 exam was conducted in November-December, the term 2 exam will be held from April 26.
Apart from CBSE candidates, Maharashtra Board students also urged Varsha Gaikwad, State School Education Minister to scrap the exam.
“Ma’am on a serious note we need some time to study so please either postpone the exam or cancel them pls ma’am it’s a request!”, a student told Gaikwad.
Now students are so stressed over the exams that they need a counsellor to help. Even a counsellor can be of no use if the Govt is not ready to postpone the exams ….Plz mam, we are ready to give them but postpone till April. With one more extra month we'll attend offline class.
