Karnataka Education Minister S Suresh Kumar has instructed to postpone the examinations of classes 7, 8 and 9 until March 31, 2020, amid the COVID-19 threat.
However, the exams for Class 10 and PU (pre-university) students will continue as per schedule.
This comes as the state is under a partial, week-long lockdown in a bid to prevent the spread of COVID-19, since Saturday, March 14.
All schools and other educational institutions were already closed as part of the same directive, with the exception of holding exams.
