In the wake of the growing threat of Covid-19, the education board is finding it imperative to postpone board exams which were to start from April 30 and May 1, an order from the MPBSE said.
The exams will now take place in the month of June and a revised timetable for the same will be issued shortly, the order further stated.
On Tuesday, the Dept of School Education announced summer vacation at all the government-aided schools for classes I to VIII till June 13. Classes I to VIII in private schools won’t be conducted until April 30.
