Punjab State Education Board (PSEB) canceled the class 12 English board examination paper which was scheduled to be conducted today.
According to an official release from CBSE, the examination of classes 10 and 12 is being held from February 15 to April 5. The examination was to begin at 2 pm.
PSEB controller of examination Janak Raj Mehrok said that the exam was to be conducted from 2 pm to 5.15 pm but had been canceled due to administrative reasons.
