The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has issued the guidelines to the schools and students that have to be followed for the smooth conduct of the Term 2 examination. It has also released the CBSE Term 2 admit card for classes 10 and 12. Reportedly, nearly 34 lakh students are going to appear for the upcoming board exams. The examinations are all set to begin on April 26. While the exams for class 10 will end on May 24, class 12 exams are going to conclude on June 15, 2022.
