Date – 21st Jun 2021

The Supreme Court of India will consider the matter of Andhra Pradesh Intermediate exams June 18, 2021. The court is hearing a bunch of petitions on Class XII board exams, including petitions against CBSE’s Class XII assessment scheme, and one for cancellation of exams for CBSE compartment and private candidates.

The Supreme Court issued notice on June 17, 2021 to states that didn't cancel their Class 12 board exams. On Monday, the three states informed the Supreme Court that they have cancelled Class XII State Board exams in sight of the continued COVID-19 pandemic.

The court took note of the submissions and asked the counsel appearing for Kerala and Andhra Pradesh to require instructions during this regard by tomorrow. The Supreme court will hear the matter again on, June 21, 2021 at 2 pm. While most of the states have now cancelled their Class X and Class XII board exams, the Andhra Pradesh government is firm on its stand of holding these exams.

Education Minister A Suresh said-

• "Our stand has been an equivalent from the beginning. We would like to conduct the examinations only within the interest of the students' future,"
• "We are keenly observing the situation. We will take an appropriate decision at the appropriate time,"
• "We will tell the Supreme Court why conducting the examinations is necessary,"
• A right decision on conducting the year-end examinations for class X and Intermediate students will be taken at the appropriate time
• The minister had said he's not conscious of the notice, but the government would spell out its stand after the notice is received.
