CBSE Board Exam 2020: Going by the latest update, CBSE Board is expected to hold the pending papers for 10th and 12th Class Exams at over 15000 Exam Centres spread across India. The news was confirmed by HRD Minister via a tweet from his official twitter account. In his tweet, HRD Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank mentioned that a total of 15000 schools have been identified by the CBSE Board where the pending Board exams for 10th and 12th Class students would take place. Earlier, the board was slated to hold the exams at only 3000 exam centres; however, the number of exam centres has been increased exponentially, by nearly 12000, considering the COVID-19 situation and the need for social distancing among the students during the board exams.
Students to give exams from their Schools
The expansion in the number of CBSE Board Exam 2020 comes after the HRD Minister’s announcement that students will be allowed to appear for the pending board exams at their respective schools, from where they are registered for the exams. Typically, CBSE Board assigns external exam centres for Board exams to ensure complete transparency and minimise biases and allow external invigilators to evaluate exam papers. However, looking at the extra-ordinary situation that exists now, the board has decided to do away with the practice of allotting external exam centres for now.
Pending Exams Scheduled for 1st to 15th July
Earlier in the month, CBSE Board notified the revised examination date and the detailed subject-wise schedule for the pending papers of CBSE Board Exam 2020. As notified earlier, the board would be holding the pending exams only for 29 key subjects that are important for 10th and 12th Class students to seek admission for further studies. Among the pending exams, six exams for Class 10 students in northeast Delhi district are also included. The pending exams are to be held from 1st to 15th July 2020, with results expected to be announced by late July 2020.
