Dismissing rumours that dates for board exams to be conducted in 2021 have been released, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) on Monday, 24 November, clarified that it has not released any date for any exam, whether written or practical, so far.
Responding to media reports falsely claiming that the CBSE class 12 practical exams will be held from 1 January to 8 February, the board said that dates mentioned in these articles are old and tentative. It further stated that the dates were issued a long time ago and are not applicable at the moment.
This simply means that these dates were published earlier and that final dates for conducting practical exams have not been issued by the board so far.
Meanwhile, CBSE Secretary Anurag on Friday, 20 November, said that board exams will certainly take place, and the schedule for which will be announced soon.
“The board exams will happen for sure and a schedule will be announced very soon. The CBSE is making plans and will soon reveal how it will do test assessments,” he said during the webinar,” he said.
