After the HRD Minister, Ramesh Pokhriyal 'Nishank', called for questions from students for his webinar scheduled on May 5, students have been pouring in their questions on Twitter. HRD Minister announced that he would hold a second webinar and answer students' questions, and had asked students to send their questions on social media using the hashtag '#EducationMinisterGoesLive'.
Most of the questions that have been shared on Twitter by students so far revolve around pending board exams.
A class 12 student from Kendriya Vidyalaya asked when the remaining board exams would be held and asked for tentative dates.

One class 10 student requested that students should be promoted on the basis of internal assessment marks. The student added that online classes for class 11 have started and students are clueless about which class to attend class 10 or class 11. 'An average student can do one thing, either to study for 10 board or 11,' he added.
#EducationMinisterGoesLive #1sir, please promote std 10 student based upon internal assessments and tma across all boards (nios,icse,cbse and all state boards). Provisional admissions have begun for class 11 or have already been done in mostly,online classes have started as well.

#EducationMinisterGoesLive #2sir, online classes for 11th have started too,putting us under enormous pressure. Should we study for class 10 boards exams? Or we should study in the online classes for class 11? An average student can do one thing,either to study for 10 board or 11.
