On Thursday, the Government of Telangana has been cancelled the 10th board exams that were conducted from 17th May 2021 and postpone the 12th board exam. The decision has been taken after the announcement of the cancellation and postponement of CBSE class 10th and 12th board exams.
In a notice, the Telangana government said that “Considering the present pandemic situation prevailing in the State and also keeping in view of the CBSE notification it. 14.04.2021, Government hereby cancel all 10th class Exams to be held from 17th May, 2021.”

Earlier several students and parents had opposed the decision to held exams. Few students started doing online requests in regard to cancellation or postpone the exam. The petition filed by a person identified as Koumudi Balla,“Due to the pandemic, schools, and colleges were shut across the state forcing students to attend classes online. While many students struggled to make arrangements to attend the classes, most educational institutions run by the government- due to lack of resources required for online classes failed to conduct the classes.”
It added, “As a result, most colleges failed even to finish 50% of the entire syllabus meant for the academic year of 2020-2021. It is unfair to expect students to attend the exams without proper knowledge of what they will be facing.”
