The Karnataka government on Wednesday said it has not taken any decision on canceling the State board 10th standard exam. The State Primary and Secondary Education Minister S Suresh Kumar issued a statement saying “The Secondary School Leaving Certificate (SSLC) exam will take place from June 21.” However, keeping in view the situation in the future, an appropriate decision would be taken, the Minister was quoted as saying in the statement.
The Karnataka government, particularly Kumar, has been maintaining that the 10th and 12th standard exams are crucial for the students’ academic growth as the board exams decide their future. The State had even arranged free transport for the students to reach the exam centres and reserved rooms for those who have tested COVID-19 positive to appear for the exam last year.
“After the exams for Class 10 Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) students were canceled, there are many rumors doing rounds about standard 10 SSLC exams. The SSLC Class 10 exams are scheduled to take place from June 21 and there are no changes to its current schedule,” Suresh Kumar tweeted. “Any changes to be made, depending on the upcoming circumstances, will be notified,” the Minister added.
