The Minister had earlier ruled out conducting the Board examinations till February in view of the coronavirus pandemic.
Usually, practical tests are conducted in January and theory exams begin in February and conclude in March.
With no clarity on the board exam dates, several schools had already conducted pre-board exams online to keep the students prepared. This year the exams have been postponed due to the pandemic.
