"Nobody is in a situation right now to answer how the situation will be in various cities and whether this exam can be held. In the larger of interest students, this is the best possible option [to go by CBSE formula]” they further added.
Delhi University's officials are expected to hold a meeting and discuss on how to proceed with the admission process after the CBSE releases the result evaluation criteria.
DU officials stated that the admission process of the college is considered pan India, hence they simply can not decide on the basis of the board.
The officials further added that the authority has to also consider the result release dates. Some state boards may release their results in July, or in August. Therefore, the Delhi University exam authority has to delay the admission process accordingly.
