On Saturday, the HRD ministry postponed the announcement of the board examination dates for class 10 and 12 that were to be held earlier. The ministry said that CBSE still considered looking into some technical aspects before finalizing the datasheet. Earlier it was
being said to announce the dates on Saturday at 5 pm.
The Union HRD minister Ramesh Pokhriyal tweeted that, “ CBSE is taking into consideration some technical aspects before finalizing the datasheet for class 10 and 12 due to which the datasheet will now be released on Monday i.e. 18-05-2020. The inconvenience caused is
sincerely regretted(sic).”
It was an announcement last week that the exams for classes 10 and 12 that were postponed due to the lockdown induced by COVID 19, will take place from July 1 to July 15.
On the other hand, the students of classes 9th and 11th will be getting another opportunity to reappear in their exams so as to improve their performance. CBSC decided earlier that the students up to class 8th will be promoted to their next respective classes.
The results for class 12 are more likely to be announced by the end of August.
Earlier on 9th of may the minister at HRD said that the evaluation of the answer sheets of class 10th and 12th will be done by the teachers at their homes and 3,000 schools have been identified as exam centres that will be delivering the answer sheets to the teachers.
