New Delhi:  Ahead of the government’s high-level meeting at 11:30 AM on Sunday, demands for cancelling CBSE, ICSE Class 12 board exams grew louder. A section of students has started several Twitter campaigns with #CancelBoardExams and #CancelExamSaveStudents to intensify their demands. While many have argued that the situation is not favourable to conduct board exams 2021 in offline mode, other students asserted that if classes could be held online, so can examinations.

“We are simply putting student and parents life at risk. Allot marks based on school exams. If students want to improve marks can go for improvement. Risk will be reduced. A college admission will be based on the entrance exams only. I hope government will understand”, a student tweeted.

Another student said that the government is forcing them against their wish.  “One side you (government) are alerting us from third-wave and on the other hand you are forcing us to face it against our wish”, he wrote on Twitter.
