New Delhi, Sep 4 (TIWN) The CBSE on Friday opposed in the Supreme Court a plea for postponement of reappear exams for Class 10 and 12, telling the court that all health safety measures are in place for holding the exams this month amid the coronavirus pandemic.

The CBSE’s counsel said that the number of examination centres has been increased from 575 to 1,278 and that only 12 students will sit in a classroom for reappear exams in view of the social distance norm.

During the hearing, a bench comprising Justices AM Khanwilkar, Dinesh Maheshwari, and Sanjiv Khanna queried the petitioner if the postponement of the examinations will help the students.

The bench also queried if there was any other methodology contemplated by the CBSE for the exams.
