Haryana Class 12 board exams to be held between June 15-20: Education minister Kanwar Pal

YAMUNANAGAR: Haryana is ready to begin the Class XII board examinations between June 15 and June 20. State education minister Kanwar Pal said this on Sunday following a meeting between the Centre and representatives of states.

Speaking to media after the meeting, Pal said, “Under the leadership of defence minister Rajnath Singh and Union education minister Ramesh Pokhriyal, a meeting was held with the state and UT education ministers, secretaries and board chairpersons, and suggestions were sought from all regarding conduction of board examinations.”

The minister said that he had said that the examinations should be scheduled according to the Covid-19 situation in various states. “We want the date sheet to be released 20 days prior to the start of examination. We had earlier announced holding of Class XII exams from June 1, but problems faced after the surge in Covid-19 situation, delayed everything. We have informed the Union minister that we can start the exams between June 15 and June 20,” he added.

On the duration of the examination, Kanwar Pal said, “The Union ministers had asked whether the examination time should be 90 minutes or complete 3 hours. We are prepared to hold a 3-hour examination, but we want the students to be allotted examination centres in their schools so that they won’t have to encounter crowds while travelling and it will ensure implementation of social distancing as there will be fewer students at the centre.”

In case any student has a problem due to the Covid-19 situation, he/she can appear for the examinations later, the minister said.

Kanwar Pal said he wanted all teachers and officials deputed for examination duty to be vaccinated beforehand.
