Mizoram Board 12th exams 2020 to resume on July 1, 2020

Mizoram Government has once more postponed Class 12 board examinations suspended midway due to the COVID-19 pandemic and decided to conduct it from July 01, 2020 onwards.

The examinations of Higher Secondary School Leaving Certificate (HSSLC) for remaining subjects in arts, science and commerce streams were supposed to be conducted from June 16 as per the revised schedule after these were postponed in April.

The remaining Class 12 examinations will now be held between July 01 – 03, 2020 , according to a notification issued by the Mizoram Board of School Education (MBSE) on Tuesday.

The examinations are deferred because the government had imposed an entire lockdown till June 22, 2020.

MBSE said that about 4,700 students couldn't complete their board examinations in Economics, Chemistry, Sociology, Computer Science and Home Science.

The examinations were suspended in March 2020 due to the lockdown.

The MBSE had, earlier, announced the resumption of the board examinations from April 22, 2020 which triggered stiff opposition from students citing various inconveniences amid the nationwide lockdown.

The authorities postponed it following an appeal by the central government to place on hold the examinations thanks to the lockdown.

The compartmental examinations for Class 10 also will be held from July 01, 2020 , the notification said.
