CBSE decides against conducting board exams online

The Central Board of Secondary Education on Wednesday announced that the board exams will “only be held in the written mode and not online”, adding that it may consider alternatives for the practicals if students are not able to perform them in classes before the exams.

A statement by the CBSE said “No final decision has been taken regarding dates for conduct of board exams and consultations with stakeholders are in process. The exams, as and when they are conducted, will be in written mode and not in online mode. In case students are not able to do practicals in classes before the exams, alternatives to practical exams will have to be explored, adding that exams will be conducted in accordance with all Covid-19 protocols in mind.”

Union education minister Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank is expected to hold a live digital interaction with students who are slated to appear for competitive and board examinations on December 10.
