The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) will hold the examinations for Classes X and XII students in May-June, almost two months behind the usual schedule.
According to a notification issued by the CBSE, the board exams for Classes X and XII will begin on May 4. Education minister Ramesh Pokhriyal said the exams would be over on June 10 and the results declared by July 15.
The practical, project and internal assessment segments will be held from March 1 and can continue till the theory papers are over.
The CBSE said alternative ways of conducting practical exams would be explored this year in view of the pandemic. It, however, did not elaborate.
