In India, the outbreak of corona happened in the mid of the schools and board examinations. The already stressful mind of the students is now every worried about their and the loved one’s health. While some of the boards are considering promotion students in 1st to 5th class without assessment, the schools board have to cancel class 10th and 12th examinations. This is will eventually lead to delay in announcement of the result and beginning of new session.

Most affected are the students in the final year of their course. Not only the final exams, the placements and joining might also be shifted back.
