The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) will conduct the pending class 10, 12 board exams, which were postponed due to the coronavirus lockdown, from July 1 to 15, Union HRD Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal 'Nishank' announced on Friday.
While class 12 exams will be held for the whole country while class 10 exams will be held for Northeast Delhi, the minister said.
"The students have been impatiently waiting for the schedule for pending exams. It has been decided today that the exams will be conducted from July 1 to 15," he said.
The CBSE will announce a detailed schedule of the exams soon.
Earlier on Tuesday, Nishank had said the board exams for class 10 are over for all over the country except Northeast Delhi where exams were disrupted due to the communal violence in February.
Earlier, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) had said it will conduct examinations for only main subjects that will be required for promotion and may be crucial for admissions in higher educational institutions.
It had announced a list of subjects for class 12 for which the exams have to be held. For class 10, it said only exams for Hindi Course A, Hindi Course B, English Comm, English Lng & Lit, Science and Social Science will be held for North East Delhi.
For CBSE schools in foreign countries, the CBSE had said it would not be in a position to hold a differential set of exams for each of these countries. Also, in the present situation, it will be difficult to bring the answer books to India for evaluation purposes, it said, adding that the Board has decided to not hold any more exams for the students of class 10 and 12 schools located outside India.
The system of marking/assessment for the purpose of declaring results will be worked out by the board and informed to these schools.
