NEW DELHI: The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) exams for classes 10 and 12 will not be held till February end, Union Education Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal said during an interaction with teachers on Tuesday.
He, however, added that the board exams would be held later, but did not indicate when.
“The CBSE board exams will be conducted on a reduced syllabus. There will also be 33 per cent internal choice in the exam. Thirty per cent of the total syllabus has been scrapped. While some states have declared as much, others are likely to make an announcement soon,” the minister said in an online interaction.
Unlike classes, the board exams would not be held online since “many schools are in rural areas”, the minister said, adding that exams would not be postponed either. (AGENCY)
