There is a broad consensus among states about conducting Class XII board exams and an “informed, collaborative” decision will be taken by June 1, Union Education Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal ‘Nishank said on Sunday.
However, states like Maharashtra said at a high-level meeting on Sunday that “non-examination route” for Class XII students should be actively examined and Delhi and Kerala governments suggested vaccinating students before the exams.
According to sources, the CBSE has proposed conducting exams between July 15 and August 26 and the result to be declared in September. The board also proposed two options: conducting regular exams for 19 major subjects at notified centres or conducting shorter duration exams at respective schools where students are enrolled.
