ICSE Board Exam 2020: CISCE to conduct class 10 board exams in Maharashtra in July

The Indian School Certificate Examination, ICSE board on Friday told the Bombay High Court that it would be holding its standard 10th examinations in July with all safety precautions.

The Maharashtra government, on the other hand, said that holding exams now was not feasible in view of the coronavirus pandemic.

Advocate General Ashutosh Kumbhakoni told the court that the COVID-19 situation in the state was serious and hence it would not be feasible to hold an examination for pending ICSE papers.

The central board in its affidavit, however, argued that it does not require the state government’s permission to conduct the examinations.
