The Karnataka government was accused by the Supreme Court on Monday of "harassing" pupils by holding board exams for various classes, and the court ordered the Karnataka government to refrain from announcing the results of the board exams for classes 8, 9, and 10 until further orders. "What is causing you to torment the students? The state is you. You shouldn't act in this manner. Don't let it become an ego problem. Please open quality schools if you genuinely care about the welfare of the pupils. The Karnataka government's senior advocate, Devadatt Kamat, was cautioned not to choke them by the bench of Justices Bela M. Trivedi and Satish Chandra Sharma.

After this, Kamat notified the Supreme Court that the state government had revoked a circular allowing students in classes 5, 8, 9, and 10 to take the board exams in seven rural districts of the state during the current school year.

Following the highest court's ruling in April that the board exams violated the Right to Education Act, School Education Minister Madhu Bangarappa formally announced on Friday that the exams for classes 5, 8, 9, and 11 will be cancelled.

According to the revised plan, class 11 pupils will take an annual exam, while kids in classes 5, 8, and 9 will be evaluated using Summative Assessment-2 (SA-2), Bangarappa explained.

We previously implemented web streaming for the SSLC and II PUC exams, among other examination innovations. We implemented board examinations for classes 5, 8, 9, and 11 in an effort to lessen students' anxiety and fear of them. The Supreme Court is currently considering the case, and we will abide by whatever final decision that is rendered," Bangarappa had stated last week.
