Mehmood said the government will hold a meeting with the Cambridge board to see whether examinations can be postponed or not.
The students claim that due to distance learning, they have been unable to finish the syllabus and it was unjust to force them to give exams.
Wow. So the ministers themselves will be participating virtually and they expect us to be on campuses and give exams. Isn’t this a double standard Mr. @Shafqat_Mahmood ?#cancelexamspakistan2021 #cancelcieexams2021 #cancelcies21 pic.twitter.com/cKK7ytS17h

We students are well aware of how important education is. When we demand exams to be cancelled we surely are because it is not feasible this year for students to appear in exams due to all the struggles this year.#cancelexamspakistan2021 #cancelcieexams2021 @Shafqat_Mahmood

Students went sarcastic for the government, “In online meeting they will decide our future. Big hands for our government and their policies”.
