Khattar said the examination for the science subject for class 10 has not been conducted due to the lockdown, so the government has decided that students of class 10 will be promoted to class 11 on the basis of the average marks obtained in other subjects. Khattar further explained that the examination of the science subject will be conducted when the circumstances are normal. Similarly, class 11 students will be promoted to the next class without appearing for the examination of the math subject, on the basis of the marks obtained in other subjects. The examination of the math subject will be conducted after circumstances are normal, he said.
