Andhra Pradesh Education Minister Adimulapu Suresh said on Friday that the state government is attempting to conduct Class 10 and intermediate examinations while keeping students futures in mind, and that cancelling exams is just a last choice. The minister told a press conference here that it would have been easy to decide to cancel the exams, but the governments priority is the students future.

The state government is attempting to conduct board examinations for Classes 10 and 12. Exam cancellation is a last resort only, and the state government is attempting to conduct the exams merely in the interest of the students. Exam cancellation is a matter of one minute, but students future is our priority. TDP is unnecessarily politicising the matter of exams, the Minister said.
