Amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, many students on social media have demanded for a postponement of the board exams.

Mr Tripathi, however, did not comment if the exams will be held in February-March as per schedule or will be postponed.

"During March-April we were flummoxed as to how to move forward, but our schools and teachers rose to the occasion and transformed, trained themselves in using new technology for teaching purposes and within a few months conducting online classes using different apps became normal," Mr Tripathi said.

Last year, dates for Class 10 and Class 12 were announced in January and the exams were held in February-march. The schedule will be available on CBSE’s official website, cbse.nic.in, as and when released.
