Mr Pokhriyal has recently informed in a live discussion with teachers on December 22 that the CBSE board exams will be conducted after February and in offline mode. “The practical exams are usually held between January 1 and 15 while the optional exams are conducted between February 15 and mid-March. However, taking into account the present situation, it is impossible to conduct the exams till the end of February. We will make a final decision on the exam dates as to when will the exams can be held after February,” he had said.
Education Minister had also said that if students cannot visit their schools to do lab work, alternatives to practical exams will have to be explored. He also assured students that “our government is in favour of students”.
Considering the difficulties students are facing while availing online classes in remote areas, it will be difficult for the students to take online exams, the minister said. "Many CBSE schools are in rural areas. Hence, the upcoming 2021 exams cannot be held online," Mr Pokhriyal said.
In his webinar on December 10, Mr Pokhriyal answered questions about NEET 2021, JEE 2021 and board exams 2021. He announced that JEE 2021 will be held in four sessions in the next academic year.
