CBSE Class 10 Board Exam Cancelled, Class 12 Exam Postponed

The CBSE Class 10 examinations have been cancelled and Class 12 examinations have been postponed for the time being due to COVID-19. For CBSE class 12 board exams, the situation will be reviewed on June 1 and revised dates will be announced after that. The decision was taken by the government after the meeting between Prime Minister Modi's Narendra Modi, Union Education Minister, Dr. Ramesh Pokhriyal 'Nishank', Education Secretary and CBSE Board officials convened today on 14 April 2021.

Education minister tweeted 'The Board Exams for Class Xth to be held from 4th May to June 14th, 2021 are hereby cancelled. The results of Class Xth Board will be prepared on the basis of an objective criterion to be developed by the Board.' CBSE Class 10 and 12 board examinations are scheduled to be held from May 4 to June 14.

The results of Class 10 Board will be prepared on the basis of an objective criterion to be developed by the Board. Any candidate who is not satisfied with the marks allocated to him/her on this basis will be given an opportunity to sit in an exam as and when the conditions are conducive to hold the exams.

Demand for postponement or cancellation of CBSE board examinations was increasing. Other than politicians, students who are preparing for CBSE board exams as well as parents and teachers are also demanding cancellation of CBSE exams and alternative mode for assessment.
