The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is likely to keep the remaining Class 12 documents in the first two weeks of July, The Indian Express had reported. The minister of human resources Ramesh Pokhriyal is expected to announce the revised exam schedule this week.
The government, the sources said, has decided that the Class 12 Board exams must end before the JEE Main is held. The entrance test for admission to NIT will be carried out five days between July 18 and 23. CBSE has been asked to finalize the remaining documents before that
April 1 CBSE had announced that it will take exams for 29 subjects of the approximately 90 that remained at the time the national blockade was imposed. For class 10, exams will only be held for students from northeast Delhi, who were unable to sit for the exam due to the riots.
For class 12, CBSE will take exams for business studies, geography, Hindi (core), Hindi (optional), home science, sociology, computer science (old), computer science (new), information practice (old), practice of (new) information, information technology and biotechnology. Other than that, all the tests that class 12 students from northeast Delhi could take due to the riots.
CBSE is also working to resume evaluation of the response scripts, which was halted in March due to the national blockade. One of the options being considered is delivering the answer scripts to the home examiners.
The results of the 29 Class 12 exams will likely be announced in late August, before the Indian Institutes of Technology (IIT) declare the merit list for JEE Advanced.
The IIT advisory process depends on when CBSE and the respective state boards announce the results of the Class 12 board exams. To apply for admission to one of the IITs, applicants who have passed JEE Advanced should also have obtained at least 75 percent on their board exams or they should be in the top 20th percentile of their respective board scores.
JEE Advanced has been scheduled for August 23. IITs generally take approximately two weeks to declare the All India (AIR) rank for testing. However, IIT-Delhi, the organizing institute for the entrance exam this year, is working to shorten the evaluation period.
