The order was passed by a bench of justices AM Khanwilkar and Dinesh Maheshwari on public interest litigation filed by a group of parents. The petition demanded the cancellation of all state board examinations and a uniform assessment scheme for Class 12 students across the country.
The Supreme Court on Thursday said state boards were free to have their own Grade 12 examination program but insisted that they be notified within ten days and the results should be announced on July 31.
The order was handed over by the bench of judges AM Khanwilkar and Dinesh Maheshwari in court in the public interest filed by the parents’ group led by Anubha Shrivastava Sahai. The petition called for the cancellation of all state board exams and uniforms for Grade 12 learners across the country.
The state board of Haryana opposed the idea of a uniform testing program and sought clarification. Assam has announced that the testing program is underway.
The bench said, “We are making it clear that each board can develop its own plan. We are showing the boards to implement and notify the program within 10 days from today and announce the results on July 31, which is the timeline of the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) and the Indian School Certificate Examination Council (CISCE).
