Last week, the Gujarat Board released the Class 10th and Class 12th date sheet scheduled to begin from July 1. Chief Minister Vijay Rupani decided to hold exams after a high-level meeting. However, the board has cancelled the Gujarat Class 12th board exams shortly after the union government decision to cancel the CISCE and CBSE 12th board exams 2021.

Earlier, the Gujarat government decided to postpone the Class 10 and Class 12 board exams scheduled to be held in April due to a sharp increase in COVID-19 cases across the state. As per the sources, around 1.40 lakh students of the Science stream and more than 5.43 lakh students of the general stream (arts and commerce) will be promoted based on the internal assessment.
