As per the order from the Delhi government, students in the national capital, who are appearing for exams during the weekend or the ones who are conducting the exams during the curfew will not be needing an E-pass. However, they just need to show their admit card and the movement for them will be allowed during the weekend lockdown in the capital.

At present, the national capital is under weekend curfew from 10 PM on Friday night till 5 AM on Monday. During the weekend curfew of Saturday, April 17, and Sunday, April 18, any test-taking student will be allowed easy mobility and transport on showing their admit card to officials, the DDMA has clarified.

Apart from this, the examination staff on duty will also be allowed to move around Delhi easily by showing their ID card.

The national capital has recorded around 17,000 Covid-19 cases on Thursday, with a positivity rate of 20.22 percent, the highest ever since the start of the pandemic in March 2020.

The DDMA further stated that no students will be called in person to submit any assignments. However, the schools can conduct online or semi-online teaching activities including uploading of marks of mid-term or pre-board exams.

The DDMA further stated that the Delhi school principals will take a call on calling their teachers and other faculty members.
