After months of suspense, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) Class 12 board exams were cancelled on Tuesday, leaving students jubilant.
PM Narendra Modi took to Twitter to announce the decision. “Government of India has decided to cancel the Class XII CBSE Board Exams. After extensive consultations, we have taken a decision that is student-friendly, one that safeguards the health as well as future of our youth,” his tweet read.
Soon after the announcement, social media platforms were flooded with hilarious memes and jokes, and many lauded the Prime Minister’s decision. However, one tweet took away the cake and went crazy viral! A student requested the Prime Minister to give permission to organise the school farewell party and wrote, ‘”Sir farewell to kraa do….wo 12th B wali neha ko saree me dekhna tha (Sir, please allow the farewell… I want to see Class 12 B’s Neha in a saree).”
Seems his hilarious request has resonated with many other students who poured funny comments on his reply.
One user said, “I can understand your pain,” while another commented, ”Bus Kar Bhai rulayega kya.”
Meanwhile, after Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE) has also cancelled Class 12 board exams. The CISCE on Tuesday decided to cancel Class 12 board examinations this year in view of the COVID-19 situation, according to its secretary Gerry Arathoon. Many other state governments are also following suit.
