1. Karnataka HC allows State government to go ahead with board exams for classes 5, 8 and 9
A division bench of the High Court of Karnataka on March 22 allowed the State Government to conduct board exams for classes 5, 8, 9 and 11 for the academic year 2023-24. The bench told the government to hold consultations with the stakeholders before issuing a notification for holding board exams for the next academic year.
The bench also directed the government to continue the halted exams (for classes 5, 8, 9), and also continue and complete the process of evaluation of exams conducted for class 11, which were completed even before the single judge’s verdict on March 6. Exams for classes 5, 8 and 9 were stopped midway following the apex court’s judgment.
