No Class X exam in Punjab

Chandigarh, April 15

Amid the surge in Covid cases, Punjab CM Captain Amarinder Singh on Thursday announced that students of Classes 5, 8 and 10 would be promoted to the next standard without exams. A decision on Class 12 examinations, which have already been postponed, would be taken later.

For Class 5 students, since exams for four of their five subjects had already been conducted, the results would be declared by the Punjab State Education Board (PSEB) on the basis of marks obtained in the four subjects. The results for Classes 8 and 10 would be declared on the basis of pre-board examinations or internal assessment. — TNS
