Students of Class X and XII from non-state board curricula are gearing up for term-end exams, scheduled in November and December. State board students, however, are still waiting to hear about their board exams.

A state board school teacher in Khar said, “We have been seeking clarity from the state board right from the start of the academic year. Even as board exam classes have reopened for physical teaching in July, in urban areas such as Mumbai, offline lectures have begun only in October. All this is definitely going to have an impact on the teaching-learning process.”
