With the increasing concern among students about the CBSE Board Exam 2020 Date, officials from the board have confirmed that complete cancellation of exams is not being considered by the CBSE.

As per a report published by NDTV on its website, the board is still at the discussion stage about the CBSE Board Exam 2020 and is closely monitoring the situation around COVID-19.

CBSE Board Exam 2020 Dates After Lockdown Ends

However, CBSE officials also confirmed by final decision about CBSE 10th and 12th Board Exam Date 2020 will be taken by the board only after 3rd May, once the lockdown is lifted. According to CBSE Officials “"The discussions are still going on regarding the make decision on pending board examinations and a proper announcement on dates will be made only after analysing the situation after May 3.” This puts 12^th Class students in a very precarious position as it will delay all admission process for undergraduate colleges and even professional programmes such as medical and engineering.

For 12^th Class students, exams are now being only for key subjects that too for students who are based in India only. For overseas students, the board has cited logistical challenges and decided to cancel the board exams completely.
