The Chief Minister also requested the eligible HS & HSLC students to complete their vaccination before the start of their forthcoming examinations. So what will happen to those students of HSLC & HS who will not be fully vaccinated before the commencement of their exams? To this, the Chief Minister said, “At this moment we are not going into this debate. We are expecting that all such students will get themselves vaccinated before their exams. However, we will discuss this issue and let know atleast 10 days ahead of their examination/”
