The National Institute of Open Schooling has postponed the diploma exams for elementary school teachers in Meghalaya scheduled from May 12 to 23 in view of the by-election, officials said.
"The competent authority of NIOS has decided to cancel the entire Diploma in Elementary Education exam in Meghalaya," NIOS Deputy Director R D Mahapatra said in a letter to the state government.
He said the reschedule of the learners registered for April-May 2016 examination will be allowed to appear in October-November examination.
The state's education department Commissioner and Secretary E P Kharbhih has sought rescheduling of the said examination in view of the by-elections for the Tura Lok Sabha constituency.
The by-election was necessitated following the demise of former Lok Sabha speaker Purno A Sangma.
