"With the extended lockdown, anxiousness has risen among students who want to know what happens to their board examination. But it is important for children to keep calm and wait in these difficult times," said a teacher from a Kandivali school.

Collegians worried too
At the same time, college and university level students are anxious to know what happens to their examination schedule. All exams have been postponed until further notice, especially after the lockdown was further extended. Siddharth Ingle, president of Maharashtra Students' Union said, "Generally March and April are the months of examinations but this year all have been postponed. Also there is no uniformity in the examination time-tables for all higher educational institutions."

Higher and Technical Education minister Uday Samant has announced that no university examinations will be cancelled. "After Maharashtra State Board exams' remaining paper was cancelled, there are talks that university and college level examinations will follow suit. But that is not the case. We have formed a committee of vice-chancellors to take a decision on the examinations. Once it submits its report, it will be communicated to students," Samant said in a statement.
