It is to be noted that Tamil Nadu government had cancelled Class 10 board exams on June 15 due to coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic. Tamil Nadu chief minister Edappadi K Palaniswami had announced that all students would be promoted in 2020. Over nine lakh students were scheduled to appear for exams at 12,690 centres. The government had announced that for Class 10 students, the marks would be based on their quarterly and half yearly exam performance.

Students will have to secure at least 35 out of 100 marks in each subject to pass the examination. The examination was conducted from March 24 onwards but some exams were disrupted due to the coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic and the nationwide lockdown imposed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to curb the spread of the deadly virus in the country.
