A number of city schools are set to scrap the summer break for students who will be promoted to Class XI this year to make up for the loss of days resulting from delayed start of the session.
The examinees are also set to have a shorter break between the end of the ICSE (Class X) exams and the start of Class XI session — five to 10 days in most schools, instead of the usual two to three weeks.
The Class X board exams are usually over by the end of March and the Class XI session starts towards the middle of April.
