Prime Minister Narendra Modi held a meeting on the upcoming CBSE Board exams on Wednesday following which the Education Ministry deferred the Class 12 exam and cancelled the Class 10 Board exam.

“The results of Class Xth Board will be prepared on the basis of an objective criterion to be developed by the Board. Any candidate who is not satisfied with the marks allocated to him/her on this basis will be given an opportunity to sit in an exam as and when the conditions are conducive to hold the exams,” the Ministry said in a press release on Tuesday.

As for the Class 12 exam, the government will review the situation on June 1 to decide fresh dates and make an announcement at least two weeks before the start of the exam.

The Class 10 and 12 exams were earlier scheduled to start from May 4.
