As per the directions, the KVs all over India were asked to start conducting the exams for the students of these primary classes from March 1 and finish them by March 20.
The KVs are organising these exams for the students in the online mode but for those who do not have the required devices to sit for the exams online, the schools are going to allow them to appear for the exams offline.
