CBSE Class 12 Board Exam Postponed
In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, CBSE has cancelled Class 10 exams and postponed Class 12 exams. The decision was taken at a high-level meeting chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
"The board exams for Class 12 to be held from May 4 to June 14 are hereby postponed. These exams will be held hereafter. The situation will be reviewed on June 1 by the board and details will be shared subsequently. A notice of at least 15 days will be given before the start of the examinations," an official of the Ministry of Education (MoE) said.
The demands for the cancellation of board exams were being raised from various quarters. Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal among other leaders has appealed to the Centre to cancel the exams, saying it can contribute to a large scale spread of the coronavirus.

Termed competency-based questions, the questions in the CBSE board exams will include multiple-choice questions (MCQs), case-based questions and source-based integrated questions.
The new pattern of competency-based questions will not be applicable for students appearing in the Class 12 board exams in 2021. This shall come into force from the academic session 2021-22 onwards.
