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.

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 for the entire academic session due to the COVID-19 outbreak.
In addition, 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 type of goal or MCQ could increase considerably.

Approximately 30 lakh students appear for the CBSE board exams each year. In 2019, 31.14 lakh of students had signed up for the CBSE board exams.
