The letter sent to the Chief Ministers reads that “Over 2.2 lakh students including students of your state found themselves in the Compartment category by 1-7 marks. The said students demand the cancellation of the Compartment exam for the following reasons.” Reasons such as the rise of COVID-19 cases, lack of resources, mental health issues, etc, are listed in the letter.

Now, AISA tweeted the letter and other documents on its official twitter handle as well.

Consideration of grace marks or marks on the basis of Internal assessment is also one of the demands made by the students association. The association further asked CBSE to deem them as ‘Passed’ in their Board exam so that they can move forward with their respective higher education and avoid the risk of losing a year in their educational journey and have an equal chance as other students.
