CBSE Board exams after COVID-19 lockdown? Here’s what CBSE said

New Delhi: Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has released an official statement to end all the speculation about the cancellation of pending 10th 12th Board Exams.

Earlier, Delhi Education Minister Manish Sisodia on Tuesday requested the Union HRD Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal ‘Nishank’ that class X and XII students of the CBSE should be promoted on the basis of internal exams only as conducting exams is not possible in the wake of the COVID-19 crisis.

The exams are said to be held around 10 days after the imposed lockdown will be lifted, which is May 3. State Ministers were informed regarding the same in a meeting held with the HRD minister.

In the official tweet, CBSE has stated that the board would be conducting the examinations of the 29 subjects as per the April 1 circular.
