Earlier, Pokhriyal had said, “Conducting examinations is no less than a challenge. Despite the uncertainty due to Covid-19 pandemic, it is crucial to conduct board examinations as well as entrance examinations for admission to higher educational institutions. I will have an interaction with parents, students and teachers in this regard and exams will only be conducted based on outcome of the interaction.”
He also said that competitive and board exams would be conducted next year only after proper consultation with students, teachers and parents.
On November 26, the Education Ministry had asked students, parents and teachers, to submit their concerns regarding the conduct of board and competitive exams in 2021. The Ministry also informed that it will launch a campaign to hear feedback from education stakeholders.
