After several social media posts went viral stating that the CBSE Class 10, 12 Board Exams 2021 will take place in March, CBSE released a clarification stating that it has not yet finalized the CBSE Class 10, 12 Board Exams 2021.
The CBSE asked interested parties not to believe in this information that floats on social media. On December 10, Pokhriyal interacted with students and other stakeholders through a webinar and hinted at many changes to the board exams.
During their interaction, the Minister of Education made it clear that the CBSE Class 10, 12 Board Exams 2021 may be delayed and the exams may not be held in March if the coronavirus pandemic is not controlled.
Pokhriyal hinted that the CBSE may opt for an alternative to practical exams in 2021, as most schools across the country remained closed throughout the academic session due to the COVID-19 outbreak.
Additionally, the question paper will also see several changes in 2021. It is known that the CBSE Class 10, 12 Board Exams question paper will be more application-based and the target type or MCQ could increase considerably.
On December 16, the Ministry of Education (MoE) announced the JEE-Main exam schedule and the number of times they will be held in 2021. Pokhriyal announced that the JEE-Main exams will be held four times a year – February, March, April and May. The first exam will take place between February 23 and 26.
“Students will be able to take the exam at their own discretion at any time in these four shifts. They will be able to choose the month of the exam according to their choice. A student takes the exam four times, in which the best of four will be counted,” Pokhriyal said .
