The Ministry of Education, Science and Technology has sent a proposal to the Council of Ministers for permission to conduct the Class 12 examination on the basis of student attendance, which could not be held for six months due to corona infection.

Deputy Secretary Bidur Raj Giri informed that the proposal along with the suggestions sent three days ago was the final examination of class 12 school education and the written examination conducted by the National Examination Board for higher education at home and abroad would be valid.

As per the instructions given by the Ministry of Education, the Board had submitted a report to the Ministry in the last week of August with suggestions on conducting the 12th examination. According to Deputy Secretary Giri, the ministry has proposed to conduct the examination in the old system by adopting health security as there is no alternative to conduct the examination in writing. Four lakh 33 thousand one hundred and eighty students are waiting for the exam.
