The Madras High Court was informed by the Government of Tamil Nadu that when it comes to offline classes for Classes X, XI and XII, they are only optional and not compulsory. And the classes which are being held are being done so by adhering to the standard operating procedures as strictly as possible. 

On January 12, representing the state, Advocate General (AG) R Shanmugasundaram submitted before the first bench of Acting Chief Justice Munishwar Nath Bhandari and Justice PD Audikesavalu that offline classes are being held to facilitate vaccination of students as they are about to attempt public exams.
