The governments of Himachal Pradesh and Chhattisgarh have announced they will promote without exams all children in Classes 1 to 9 and 11 to the next class, say reports on NDTV . Haryana, Madhya Pradesh and the Central Board of Secondary Education had already announced their decisions last week.
The decision on conducting the pending exams of Class 10 and Class 12 would be taken later on.
