"In view of the uncertain conditions due to COVID and the feedback obtained from various stakeholders, it was decided that Class XII Board Examination of CBSE would not be held this year. It was also decided that CBSE will take steps to compile the results of class XII students as per well-defined objective criteria in a time-bound manner," CBSE said.
On June 1, PM Modi decided to cancel the CBSE Class 12 Board Exam 2021 due to COVID-19 pandemic asserting that the decision was taken in the interest of students. The prime minister took the decision after a high-level meeting which was attended by several cabinet ministers and senior officials.
