Mr Gehlot has said that the Rajasthan Board of School Education (RBSE) will conduct the board exams in accordance to CBSE's decision so that uniformity is maintained in the exam schedule and students of the state taking the exam under RBSE do not face any inconvenience.
राजस्थान माध्यमिक शिक्षा बोर्ड की दसवीं एवं बारहवीं कक्षाओं की शेष परीक्षाएं फिलहाल स्थगित रहेंगी। बाद में सीबीएसई द्वारा लिए जाने वाले निर्णय के अनुरूप फैसला किया जाएगा, ताकि दोनों बोर्ड की परीक्षाओं में एकरूपता बनी रहे और प्रदेश के विद्यार्थियों का अहित न हो।
