Pleas Seeking Cancellation Of CBSE Compartment Examination: Live Updates From Supreme Court

Supreme Court has commenced the hearing on petitions seeking cancellation of compartment examination 

During the hearing yesterday, Advocate Abhishek Choudhary, appearing for the intervenors(private and second compartment students of CBSE), told the Bench that it has been stated by CBSE that the exam will be held when the situation is "conducive".

"Clause 29 of the Evaluation Policy talks about private and second compartment students, and states that examination will be conducted when time is conducive to conduct examinations. If this is the scenario then unequal treatment will be given to regular students and private students." Choudhary submitted.

"If they appear along with other students when exams are conducted then what will be the difficulty? Second compartment students can appear in the proposed exams to be conducted by concerned Boards for improvisation of Students." the Bench asked.

Choudhary responded saying that the difficulty would be that, if a compartment student does well in say an entrance test like CLAT, he can't take admission because Class 12 exam for compartment students are in abeyance. Further, he added that CBSE's clause says that environment needs to be conducive, but when the environment will be conducive cannot be said.
