The Central Board of Secondary Education has proposed two alternatives for conducting the postponed Class 12 board exams this year. A high profile virtual meeting attended by Union Ministers (including Education Minister) was conducted on Sunday where the proposal was evaluated. The exam can either be conducted for selected subjects in limited centres as per conventional policy. Or exams of shorter duration can be held in schools where students are enrolled.

CBSE recently postponed the Class 12, 2021 board exams on account of the COVID-19 pandemic situation in India. However, unlike the Class 10 Board exams which were totally cancelled, the Board decided to review situations and conduct the Class 12 board exams. As per reports, a final decision regarding this matter is to be taken by June 01, 2021.

  • The exam will be conducted for 19 major subjects only.
