Non-state board schools in the city may soon invite board exam year (Stds X and XII) students for on premises laboratory sessions and exams. A request regarding this by schools under the School Leaders Network was approved recently by the BMC Education Department and is awaiting final approval from the municipal commissioner.

The SLN (School Leaders' Network) had written a letter to the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) on September 3, requesting permission for Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), Indian Certificate of Secondary Education (ICSE), Cambridge and IB Board schools to conduct in-person examinations for stds X and XII and other related activities such as laboratory work and preliminary examination.
