The SSC cleared since the exams are held across 150 cities “the candidates are, therefore, required to travel to appear in the examinations. This is not possible as long as restrictions in movement’ including travel by road/train/air,etc., are in place in any part of the country.”
Thus, the final decision on examinations will be taken only after the lockdown is ended.
Meanwhile, the result declaration date has also been postponed. “The fresh dates of the pending results will be announced only after lifting of restrictions as evaluation work has also been held up due to CoVID-19 pandemic,” the SSC said in a recent notice.
The SSC will further review the situation on May 18.
