    No sense is passing this order by the government, when it says that the exams will continue for std 7 to 9 and 10 and puc as scheduled. Are these children exempted from COVID-19?
    ICSE and CBSE exams of class X and XII are going on since 15 days all over the country and the world too. As rightly said, this is dirty politics. Once they issued order saying exams to be conducted till March 16th, then March 21st, then till March 23rd... How many dates? What a confusion for students and parents and school managements? And finally blame the schools??? Is there an end to such things?
