Senior advocate Jaideep Gupta, who appeared for the Indian School Certificate Examination (ICSE), told the court they would like to know what CBSE decides before deciding what to do. You must take this seriously as we are in an unprecedented situation.”The Supreme Court last week asked CBSE, which is scheduled to conduct the exams from July 1 to 15, to consider scrapping the exams. The petitioners pointed out tat CBSE had cancelled Class 10 and 12 board examinations for students enrolled at 250 odd schools abroad. Mehta told the court ICSE is an autonomous board and the Centre cannot take a decision on its behalf. The states of Maharashtra, Delhi and Odisha have asked CBSE to scrap the exams.
