Expert opinions

While speaking about this situation to Times Now, Mr. Mohanty, a retired teacher stated, "There has never been a situation like this for most of the people of the world. This is a worldwide pandemic, and the situation India is in, cannot be ignored. We can hope for things to improve but by when? No one can truly tell." He also expressed his concern over the fact that under the present circumstances, how far will the CBSE be able to postpone the CBSE Class 12 Board Exam 2021.

Ms. Gupta, a counsellor with a leading school in Delhi points out the psychological impact of this pandemic on the students. She said, "Many students have lost a family member to the pandemic – they are young 17 or 18-year-olds and already worried about life, tackling grief and uncertainty. With all that is happening, the government must consider cancelling the exams and finding an alternative assessment plan like they have done for Class 10."
