However, fate had different things in store for students who appeared for 10th 12th CBSE Exams this year. First hinderance dropped in form of CAA protests.
The obstruction arrived for the second time this year in form of corona virus outbreak.

Ever since the cancellation of 10th 12th CBSE Exams for second time, many students were looking eagerly towards writing these exams with equal amount of worry for their future.

Those seeking cancellation of exams were also no less in number. These are those who felt the atmosphere was not apt to conduct 10th 12th CBSE Exams as the corona virus is yet to subside.

About CBSE

A trail of developments mark the significant changes that took place over the years in shaping up the Board to its present status.

U P Board of High School and Intermediate Education was the first Board set up in 1921. It has under its jurisdiction Rajputana, Central India and Gwalior.

In response to the representation made by the Government of United Provinces, the then Government of India suggested to set up a joint Board in 1929 for all the areas which was named as the ‘Board of High School and Intermediate Education, Rajputana’.

This included Ajmer, Merwara, Central India and Gwalior. The Board witnessed rapid growth and expansion at the level of Secondary education resulting in improved quality and standard of education in institutions.

But with the advent of State Universities and State Boards in various parts of the country the jurisdiction of the Board was confined only to Ajmer, Bhopal and Vindhya Pradesh later.

It was in the year 1962 finally that the Board was reconstituted. The main objectives were to serve the educational institutions more effectively, to be responsive to the educational needs of those students whose parents were employed in the Central Government and had frequently transferable jobs.

The jurisdiction of the Board is extensive and stretches beyond the national geographical boundaries.
As a result of the reconstitution, the erstwhile ‘Delhi Board of Secondary Education’ was merged with the Central Board and thus all the educational institutions recognized by the Delhi Board also became a part of the Central Board.

Subsequently, all the schools located in the Union Territory of Chandigarh. Andaman and Nicobar Island, Arunachal Pradesh, the state of Sikkim, and now Jharkhand, Uttaranchal and Chhattisgarh have also got affiliation with the Board.

From 309 schools in 1962, the Board as on 01-05-2019 has 21271 schools in India and 228 schools in 25 foreign countries.

There are 1138 Kendriya Vidyalayas, 3011 Government/Aided Schools, 16741 Independent Schools, 595 Jawahar Novodaya Vidyalayas and 14 Central Tibetan Schools.
