Will there be a Separate Room for Symptomatic Students?
With more details about how to handle students who might be exhibiting COVID-like symptoms yet to be released by the Board, several exam centres in the Delhi-NCR region have decided to create a dedicated room for such students. In case, any student who comes to appear for the CBSE 10th or 12th Term 2 Exam showcases fever or cold symptoms, they will be isolated immediately and made to write exams in a separate room, as per media reports. While the board is yet to confirm this policy, exam centres have been preparing for the same at their end currently.
Will Exam Centre Change if COVID Case is Found?
As per the latest COVID-19 guidelines issued by the Delhi Government, any school where even a single coronavirus case is found has to be closed down completely. This policy has again raised a concern among parents, students and exam organizers as to what action will be taken in case a COVID-19 positive case is found at an exam centre. Some experts have suggested that in such a case the concerned exam centre should be cancelled and a new exam centre allotted for the rest of the students. On the other hand, others have also suggested that to avoid any further spread of the virus, exams for students appearing from such an exam centre should be postponed to a later date?

Taking to social media to share their concerns, students have said that safety precautions like mask mandates are very difficult to be followed, especially given the intense heatwave that is sweeping across North India. Many students have said that ensuring that all students are wearing face masks during the entire duration of the exam will be a difficult task for the invigilators.
