In an official communiqué of DSEK said, “DSEK received a communication last year from Director State Council of Education Research and Training (SCERT) wherein it was stated that the T2 examination of Class 8th and 9th shall be conducted at school level for the session in face-to-face offline mode with all COVID-19 SOPs in place as per the discussion held with administrative Secretary of School Education Department.”
