Mumbai, June 18: In an affidavit filed in support of SSC board’s newly introduced ‘best of five’ system, Maharashtra government has said that Indian School Certificate Examination (ICSE) board can adopt similar system if it wants.
The best of five system has been challenged by some parents of ICSE students and the High Court last week stayed the admission process for Standard XI.
Class Xth results of SSC board were declared yesterday, but the stay continues as the court hearing was today adjourned to June 22.
Petitioners Sangita Shah and others have said that best of five rule gives unfair advantage to State board students when it comes to Std XI admissions, and same system should be allowed for ICSE too.
