Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing for the Centre and Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), informed a three-judge bench headed by Justice AM Khanwilkar that the remaining class 10 and 12 CBSE exams scheduled to be held in July have been cancelled.
Delhi, Maharashtra, and Tamil Nadu have conveyed their inability to conduct the examinations, Mehta said.
The bench asked whether class 12 students were being given the option to either get marks on the internal assessment basis or appear for an exam later, to which the Mehta responded in the affirmative.
CBSE exams for class 10 students stand cancelled, Mehta said and added that they don't have to give any examinations. Mehta further submitted that as soon as conditions are conducive, CBSE exams for class 12 students, who opt for it, will be conducted.
The apex court was hearing a petition, filed by advocate Rishi Malhotra, seeking directions to cancel the remaining CBSE exams in view of the health risk of coronavirus infection. The apex court was also hearing a similar petition regarding the ICSE exams.

Kolkatta, Mar 19: A local leader of BJP has been arrested for organising a cow urine consumption event in Kolkata, claiming that it will protect people from coronavirus or cure those already infected, leading to a civic volunteer falling ill after drinking it.
The police said that 40-year-old Narayan Chatterjee, who had on Monday organised a cow worship programme at a cowshed and distributed cow urine, was arrested following a complaint filed by the victim.
He had vouched for its "miraculous" properties while offering gaumutra to others.
A civic volunteer, who was on duty near the cow shed also consumed gaumutra and fell sick on Tuesday, following which he lodged a complaint with the police against Chatterjee.
Reacting to the arrest, the state BJP leadership criticised the state government.
"Chatterjee had distributed cow urine, but he didn't fool people in consuming it. When he distributed it he clearly said it was cow urine, he didn't force anyone to drink it. It has not been proved whether it is harmful or not.
"So how can just police arrest him without any reason. This is completely undemocratic," state BJP General Secretary Sayantan Basu said.
West Bengal BJP chief Dilip Ghosh has said there is no harm in drinking cow urine and he has no qualms in admitting he consumes it.
His party colleague and MP Locket Chatterjee, however, differed, terming it an "unscientific belief" that should be shunned.
The cow urine distribution as a cure for coronavirus had drawn sharp criticism from the doctors.

The passion of young Ms Tabassum and Social Working of today, particularly, gives me lot of hope. It almost feels like the political class wants to bring down India while the people are so hard working and committed to nation building.
Congratulation Miss. Way to go.
PS: Media has been compromised and fake news factories churn out crap daily. Thanks CD for bringing this news to readers.
CONGRATULATIONS.
Mrs.Tabassum's service for humanity is highly commendable.She looks after HIV & AIDS effected children with compassion like mother without expecting anything in returns.
She is the alumni of JF managed Green View PU womens college at Derealakette.
She deserve for more prestigious awards even like "Padma Shri" for her selfless and sincere services for the society and the nation.
All the best.
