Coronavirus is spreading exponentially, around fifteen thousand patients are affected by this virus. Universities, colleges and school are closed by the government since March. Examinations of Matric/Inter were postponed due to this virus.

In this time of crisis, Students are worried about their future, they are in conflict whether to study or not. Their fate to appear in exams hang in balance.

According to one of the country’s top Academic officials, authorisations are thoughtfully discussing plans to either delay or cancel the exams this year.  “Having held informal discussions, most board chairpersons agree that the uncertainty arising from the coronavirus pandemic and resulting lockdowns has made it very difficult to hold exams in June," Aga Khan Board of Education Chairperson Dr Shehzad Jeeva.

According to him, delaying the exams beyond July was out of the question.

“If we don’t hold the exams in July, then we can’t push them any further. Doing so would delay university admissions,” he said.

If exams do go ahead in July, Dr Jeeva said the conference will consider cancelling practical exams to save four weeks. In any case, he said the conference participants would ensure students are provided educational continuity in an unbiased and transparent manner
