The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has made it clear that schools cannot detain students and stop them for appearing in board exams on the basis of pre-board exam marks. The statement has been given by the Board through its Twitter account in response to tweets made by students.
Few students have complained that their schools are not providing them the admit cards for the board exam. The reason schools say, as cited by the students who have tweeted, is they have to clear their pre-board exams first before they can be issued the admit card for the board exams.
