Education minister Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank had on December 31 announced that the CBSE Board exams 2021 will be held between May 4 and June 10 and its results are expected by July 15. Practical exams will be conducted in schools from March 1.
Earlier in the week, CBSE controller of examination, Sanyam Bhardwaj made it clear that there would be “no dilution in quality measures of the exams” by the board.
“Generally, schools would have time between January and mid-February to conduct board examinations. This time, however, after consultations with all stakeholders, we have increased that time period. Practical exams can be conducted by schools between March and June 10. This would allow schools to have the flexibility to conduct practical exams in smaller batches while maintaining social distancing and other Covid-19 guidelines,” Bhardwaj said.
