Government of Delhi has written a letter to the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) seeking postponement of CBSE board exams for Standards 10 and 12 to from March 2021 to May 2021. Delhi government has also requested the education board to reduce the board syllabus further for respective classes on account of schools being closed during COVID-19 pandemic. This year the academic session began later than usual owing to the pandemic. To reduce the burden on schools and teaching faculty, CBSE decided to reduce the portion of Classes 9 to 12 by 30%. However, as schools in Delhi continue to remain closed till October 31, 2020, the state government is requesting a further reduction in the board portion.

Schools and educational institutes have remained closed for seven months since March 2020. As part of staggered reopening of the economy, the Central Government has permitted the reopening of schools while maintaining social-distancing norms. However, states such as Maharashtra, Karnataka, West Bengal, etc have decided to keep schools closed till October 31, even for students of standards 9-12. Delhi has also decided to follow the footsteps of these major states. With most schools in Delhi affiliated with CBSE, the Delhi Government has written a letter to the education board seeking more time for board exam preparation.
