Students and parents across the country have been sharing their concerns about CBSE Board exam dates on Twitter and other social media platforms using #EducationMinisterGoesLive.
Most of the concerns relate to taking exams online and few parents request exams offline. One of the students applied to take CBSE Board exams online, considering the increase in COVID-19 cases.
“#EducationMinisterGoesLive This pandemic has affected many of the studies. Class 12 boards are the most important. But due to this regular increase in Corona cases, I request to advertise the forums online rather than advertise them offline, ”tweeted one student.

This year, due to the ongoing pandemic, educational institutes had to take their admission tests online, which created several logistical problems for students and their parents. Students had faced various challenges during this year’s online exams for multiple reasons, such as poor internet connectivity, inaccessibility to mobile phones or computers, and had requested a retest in certain cases.
Some of them are also requesting not to delay the testing process so that students can start their new academic session on time.
