Further, Mr Sharma said that in a high-level meeting with Defence Minister Rajnath Singh held on May 23, 90 per cent of the states were of the opinion that the 12th board exams should be conducted as Class 12 marks are considered for higher education.

"In the meeting with Rajnath Singh, 90% of states demanded to conduct 12th exams as 12th's result is counted in further education of a student. We've discussed our situation with Centre," Mr Sharma added.

On May 26, Uttar Pradesh Health Minister Jai Pratap Singh also pointed that the state has conducted panchayat polls and it won't be difficult to hold board exams. "When education department will finalise (dates for 12th board exams) then health department will see how to maintain COVID protocols in [exam] centres.
