The Board had decided to conduct the exams of subjects offered by small number of students early so that less number of schools is involved.
According to IANS, an official said that moderation is not a matter of policy for the Board and is done only when needed under pressing circumstances.
The official also debunked reports that the Board is conducting exams early this year due to general election, saying it's "completely wrong" and that early exams have nothing to do with the elections.
"We are conducting exams a little early this year at the instruction of the Delhi High Court, which had said that the schools results should coincide with the Delhi University admission. To that effect, the results also this year will be announced early in May," the official said.
