Earlier, the minister had tweeted, “After detailed discussions, Cambridge has agreed to reschedule ‘O’ level exams to after May 15. Details will be shared later by them”.
However, students are not happy with the announcement as they believe it is not the right time to conduct exams because they have not been able to get proper schooling due to the frequent closure of academic institutions.
