Earlier this month, the MHRD and CBSE decided to cancel Class 10th and 12th exams. Meanwhile, NTA postponed JEE and NEET. But there is a new problem that they overlooked- Compartment exams. While the exams were going to happen in the first half of July, the results are out too. It was good news and relief for many students, but not students who had compartments.
Their results are still not out. Further, there are no new dates for exams, so they don't know what to do. Thus, the concerned students have taken to Twitter to flood the authorities with their plea. They are using the hashtag Cancel Compartment Exams under MHRD and HRD Min Pokhriyal's timeline.
Some of the concerns from the students are:
1. The delay in exams will potentially destroy the year of these students. This student stated that "Since we don't know when or how compartment exams will be conducted, the results will take time and then admission dates will also pass."
Sir plzz cancel compartmentexam2020 don't destroy our year plz sir plz
Qki compartment exam kb or kese hoga iss critical situation m kisi ko kuch ni pta or sir firr admission time v nikl jayega plz sir understand. This is my Humble Request cancel compt.exam and promote students.— Nishi Rana (@NishiRana19) July 27, 2020
2. Another major concern with students is that CBSE Main exam's students passed without giving exams. So, CBSE can surely pass them with passing marks? Then why the discrimination?
Sir please cancel our compartment exams this year many students got compartment with just 2-3 marks .
Plz take decision soon. We are not against to u we r against to descrimation as many students got 80% and above with out attending exams so plz respond to us🙏🙇🙇— @Mřś.Řéďďý (@katta_honey) July 27, 2020
Another student stated that there is no possibility to take exams. Still, there is no decision from authorities.

Cbse will waste the whole year of class 10th and 12th compartment exam students bcz there is no possibility to conduct the compartment exam due to covid-19 and cbse will fix the date sheet of compartment soon but again the exam will be postponed— Prem Sharma (@PremSha39231593) July 26, 2020
One more student asked that same thing

3. Safety reasons for compartment exams persist. And why not, there are over 40,000 new COVID cases every day. Not only that, but students have also made videos stating their problems and plea.
Please everyone understand cancel compartment exam 2020 in this Corona virus situation 🙏 #cancelcompartmentexam2020 @DrRPNishank @HRDMinistry @cbseindia29
And please share this message 🙏 pic.twitter.com/W7j4bS7gWO— Abhishek Yadav (@abyv166) July 26, 2020
4. Some students only have a compartment in one subject, that too with 2-3 marks. Surely, CBSE can do something? Students have even shared their mark sheets to show that.

The decision on this needs to be taken at the earliest, and it should be student-centric, unlike UGC exams.
