Students Not Prepared for Offline Exams Due to Online Classes
Students are demanding that instead of a regular offline exam, boards should adopt an alternative assessment method as was adopted last year. One of the key reasons why students have been demanding cancellation of Board Exam 2022 is that this year classes were held in online mode for the majority part of the year and regular offline classes have resumed only for a few months. Keeping this in mind, many students feel that they are not prepared to take on offline exams currently. Students have also been running online campaigns demanding alternative assessment instead of board exams through various hashtags like– #internalassessmentforall and #cancelboardexams2022.
