'Covid is very unpredictable and very harsh': SC at AP board exam hearing

At the Andhra Pradesh board exam-related hearing, Supreme Court judges said that Covid was very unpredictable and very harsh.

The Andhra Pradesh SSC (Class 10) and Intermediate (Class 12) board exams were cancelled on Thursday, June 24, 2021. The state government had earlier connived the top court of its decision to go ahead with the AP board exams 2021. But the apex court criticised the decision and warned against holding the exam when other states had decided to scrap them because of the Covid-19 situation, especially the Delta Plus infection and the looming third wave.
