Private candidates have been protesting alleging disparity between them and regular candidates. However, the CBSE made it clear that neither schools nor the board has any previous assessment record for these students.
Earlier this week, the Supreme Court had dismissed a review petition seeking cancellation of CBSE Class 12 Private, Patrachar and Compartment exams. Bhardwaj, meanwhile, assured students that the exams will be conducted in a safe environment and the board would take care of all Covid-appropriate measures.
"Honorable Supreme Court had already discussed this issue in detail. Only after each and every petitioner agreed to the proposal, the policy of tabulation was approved by the court. The fact is that for all the categories of private students, we do not have any such database on the basis of which we can prepare results like that of regular candidates. CBSE is a very student friendly board and we would have had prepared their results if we had data pertaining to their year-long assessments. However, students shouldn't feel they are at loss. I feel their future is in safe hands, we will ensure conduct of exams in such a manner that they won't be facing any problems in appearing. All Covid-19 protocols will be taken care of. My best wishes to each and everyone," Bhardwaj said.
