SSC & HSC students protest, seek e-exam in Mumbai

Mumbai: Several SSC and HSC students from across the city staged a protest at Shivaji Park, Dadar, on Friday demanding that the state government not conduct an offline board exam later this month. The students organised the protest reaching out to each other on social media.
The HSC and SSC exams are slated to begin on April 23 and 29 respectively. However, parents and students have been demanding that the exams be held online due to the rise in Covid cases in the state.
A class XII student from Dombivli who travelled to Dadar for the protest said, “How will we travel to our exam centres amid the pandemic?”— Vinamrata Borwankar
