The Supreme Court had announced his judgement on the case of final year examinations. The judgement was given a bench headed by Justice Ashok Bhushan, Ramayyagari Subhash Reddy, Mukesh Shah. The supreme court said that students cannot be promoted without giving the final year examinations and also UGC (University Grants Commission) said that "There will be no degree without exams". The states must take the exams for promoting the students. States under the Disaster Management Act like Bihar and many more states can apply to UGC to postpone the exam or scheduled another date for the exam but they don't have the authority to cancel the exams.
In this pandemic situation, it's almost impossible to maintain the social distancing among the students. The students have to travel to give the exams in the examination center. A few weeks back in USA schools were reopened and because of these faults 3 lakhs students get affected of COVID-19. If a student gets COVID-19 positive (+) in the examination center, then what happen next? , no authority will answer that question.In this picture you can clearly see the social distancing of the Karnataka CET exam.
