CBSE Class 10, 12 Board Exams 2021 dates, practical exams, exam centre: 4 BIG updates students must know

The CBSE has warned the miscreants to refrain from circulating old notices which can mislead CBSE Class 10, 12 Board students. The notices, which are viral on social media and Whatsapp, claim that CBSE would be conducting exams only for 29 main subjects from April 2020. The CBSE, however, clarified that CBSE Class 10, 12 Board Exams 2021 will start from May 4 as per the datesheet and the Board has not changed the dates for the exams so far.

If a student fails to appear in practical exams of CBSE Class 10, 12 Board Exams 2021 after getting tested positive for Covid or any family member i.e., mother, father, brother and sister is tested positive then CBSE has directed the school to conduct the practical of such candidates at an appropriate time in consultation with the concerned Regional Office. The CBSE, however, has made it clear that the school will have to conduct practical exam latest by June 11, 2021.  

If a CBSE Class 10, 12 students has moved to some other city/country due to coronavirus pandemic and requested CBSE to change the practical centre, then while uploading the marks of the batch of the candidate, “T” may be uploaded/posted on the link for uploading of marks against the name of such candidate.  

On April 3, a statement was issued by CBSE saying that Post Graduate Teachers (PGTs) and Trained Graduate Teachers (TGTs) have been assigned lower classes and this has resulted in dearth of qualified teachers for evaluation of practicals and assessment of CBSE Class 10, 12 Board Exams 2021 students. The CBSE said that it will view the matter seriously and has asked all its affiliated schools to update names of all the teachers in the Online Affiliated Schools Information System (OASIS). “Quality teachers in sufficient quantity are required to complete both the activities qualitatively and successfully,” the board said.
