The Goa government is expected to release a final statement on the Goa Board Class 12 examinations 2021 by today evening, June 2, 2021, said Chief Minister Pramod Sawant. After the cancellation of the CBSE Class 12 exams, students of Goa Board have been impatiently waiting for the decision on Goa Board 12th examinations. After the government's decision, the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE) also decided to cancel its Class 12 board examinations this year.
Today morning, the Chief Minister held a meeting with officials of the Goa Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education (GBSHSE) and the state education department to decide on the pending Goa Board Class 12 board exams. "We have three suggestions before us right now. One is to cancel the exams, the second is to declare results on internal assessment of marks (secured during the academic year) or allow those who are keen on taking the exam to appear for it, and the third is to declare both the results (internal assessment and final examination) together," he said.
The state government is looking into the suggestions and will study decisions taken by the education boards of various other states as well as consult the Union Education Ministry by Wednesday evening, he further said. "We will take a call in the matter by evening," the chief minister added. "We are also considering various (higher) exams that science students take (after Class 12) like JEE, NEET. He also said that a decision on the Class 12 exams will be taken today considering all the factors.
Approximately, 21,000 students are eligible to appear for the Goa Board Class 12 exams.
