by AP Board Exam dates for Class 10, 12 Board Will Be Conducted this year only as announced by Andhra Pradesh chief minister Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy. Many states in the past few months have either postponed or cancelled the board exams keeping in mind students’ safety. Jaganmohan Reddy said that the government is conducting exams so that students have a better future.
“As only pass certificates would be issued by the states which have not conducted the exams, how will our students get admission in good institutions on the basis of a pass certificate alone,” he queried. “SSC and Inter examinations are very important to the students as their future depends on those certificates. The state government will ensure safety of every student in the state,” the chief minister was quoted in the statement.
Pointing out that the central government has left it to the state governments to decide whether or not to conduct tests in the current scenario, Reddy noted that examinations are underway in some states following strict measures.
The chief minister’s unequivocal stand comes in the face of a strident campaign by the opposition, especially the TDP, demanding cancellation of the public exams in view of the pandemic.
The chief minister attacked the opposition for their criticism on conducting 10th and Inter examinations. Trying to degrade the government even in the times of disaster, is not good, he said.
