According to media reports, the letter read, “There are close to 8.5 lakh students and 2.5 lakh staff involved. If we include parents who would drop their kids at the exam centre, around 30 lakh people will be involved in the process, making it a risky affair. Though the government has said that it will separate the students with fever or other ailments, will students admit to having fever? What if they consume paracetamol and come to write exams?”
Moreover, the expense of exam was also mentioned as it would take a huge amount of Rs 20 cr to Rs 25 cr.
