It is unfair to expect students to attend the exams without properly knowing what they will be facing. We as students can say that it has been difficult to grasp concepts through online classes and lack of personal coaching all year long. Students will fail to give their best without classroom sessions and proper guidance. It is unfair for the educational boards to conduct exams and expect students to put their best foot forward.

The petition pointed out that postponing the exams will hamper the natural flow of the academic year and put unnecessary pressure on students, who are already stressed out due to the pandemic, and added that cancellation of examinations will be the best solution. It also added that most schools and colleges have failed to complete even 50% of the entire syllabus meant for the academic year of 2020-2021 via online classes.

“Keeping in mind the amount of stress each student is going through, we urge the state to cancel the examinations."
