AHMEDABAD: Learning loss may be one of the most discussed fallouts of two years of pandemic but Gujarat has recorded another major deficit — an estimated 5.8 lakh less students have enrolled in Class X and XII board exams to be held in March 2022.
For Class X board exams, 9.72 lakh students have registered to appear for the exams compared to 14.03 lakh students recorded in 2021 when mass promotion was declared due to the second Covid wave. In 2020 when board exams were held despite the onset of the pandemic, 11.5 lakh students had registered to appear for the exams.
