Amid the rising coronavirus COVID-19 cases in Delhi and other parts of India, Delhi Education Minister on Saturday (April 10) said that schools should postpone the ongoing practical exams for CBSE Class 10, 12 Board Exams 2021 till at least April 20.
“We have advised schools to consult with their external examiners and postpone the remaining CBSE class 10 and 12 practical exams for a while. Only one or two practical exams are left in a majority of schools and we have advised them to reschedule these to after April 20”, Hindustan Times quoted Sisodia as saying.
It is to be noted that practical exams for CBSE Class 10, 12 Board Exams 2021 have commenced from March 1. The CBSE has already allowed the schools to complete the practicals by June 11, 2021 due to coronavirus outbreak.
Moreover, if any candidate fails to appear in the practical exam after testing COVID positive or any family member tests positive, the CBSE has directed the schools to conduct practical examination for such candidates at an appropriate time in consultation with the regional authority. The CBSE, however, has said that the practical exams for these students must be held by June 11.
Meanwhile, several students, parents and teachers have urged the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) to conduct the upcoming Class 10, 12 Board Examinations 2021 online. The clamour to hold CBSE Class 10, 12 Board Exams 2021 grows at a time when demand for the cancellation of CBSE Class 10, 12 Board Exams 2021 is growing louder with every passing day.
