In any given year, the class 10th and 12th board exams begin around February and March for most of the state boards. But this year, due to the coronavirus-induced lockdown and pandemic, schools in several states and cities continue to remain closed and no practical classes have been held for board students. Due to the ongoing pandemic and delay in academic sessions, the board has also not announced the exam datasheet.
He further added, “If the situation changes, the board and council will take decisions accordingly.”
The decision comes a day after Union Education Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank during his interaction with teachers on Tuesday announced that no CBSE Board examinations would be conducted in January or February next year as the COVID19 cases continue to rise in the country.
Earlier, the syllabus for class 10, 12 was reduced by the state government by 30 to 35 percent due to the pandemic. The recommendations were made by the expert panel constituted by the government after which the Education Minister announced the reduction of the syllabus.
