State of Tamil Nadu has decided to promote all the students of class 9th to class 12th, without any examination.
This has been officially announced by Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Edappadi K Palaniswami.
ANI confirmed this via Tweet:
Whereas for class 12th students, a new timetable and plan for the examination has been announced. For Class 12th, the main board exams will be conducted between May 3 and May 21, 2021.
Reason Behind This Decision
As per the reports, Tamil Nadu Govt is concerned about the rising Covid-19 cases during this second wave of pandemic, which is slowly and steadily engulfing entire nation.
Reports state that in states like Maharashtra, hundreds of students have been infected enmasse in colleges, and hostels, and this is the primary reason why Tamil Nadu decided to promote all Class 9th to Class 11th students, without any examination.
