Chennai, June 2 (TIWN) MDMK leader Vaiko said in a statement on Wednesday that the Central government's decision to cancel the CBSE Class XII board exams is part of a larger "conspiracy" to implement the National Education Policy (NEP).

Vaiko also said that no announcement has been made to cancel the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET).  The senior leader called upon the Tamil Nadu government to conduct public examinations once the Covid-19 pandemic is brought under control and to continue with the state education policy of admitting students based on the marks obtained in the board examinations.
