CBSE has all-India character, so we need States’ support for any decision: Central official
Class 12 students of the Central Board of Secondary Education will find out the date and format of their board examinations in a week’s time, with State governments submitting their feedback to the Centre on Tuesday.
Senior Education Ministry officials claimed that the feedback was overwhelmingly in favour of conducting the examinations, although they said States were split on whether the examinations should be in the regular three-hour format or the reduced 90-minute, multiple choice question format. However, a senior Ministry official said no response had yet been received by Tuesday evening from Maharashtra, a major dissenter from the consensus, which had called for examinations to be cancelled.
