Justice Arun Mishra said that if the exams are postponed then it would put the career of the students in peril, according to Live Law.

“Life should move on even in Covid-19 times,” he added. “Can we just stop exams? We should move on.” He pointed out that the students will lose an academic year if the examinations are not held. “Are you not demanding that courts should re-open?” he asked. “Why can’t exams be held with precautions?”
