Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has informed the Supreme Court that class 10 exams have been cancelled and class 12 students will get an option.

CBSE 10th 12th exams 2020 began as usual in accordance with their earlier planned schedule. However, exams never went ahead as per the schedule this year owing to many reasons.

Union Minister of Human Resources Development Ramesh Pokhriyal ‘Nishank’ announced the new schedule of CBSE 10th 12th exams 2020 at a webinar in the recent past.
However, the feeling that timing was not apt to conduct CBSE 10th 12th exams 2020 was growing among the parents as the number of corona virus cases were increasing every other day.

Meanwhile a group of parents have filed a plea in the nation’s top court with regards to pending CBSE 10th 12th exams 2020 and have asked for cancellation of the remaining board exams citing the outbreak of corona virus.

Supreme Court is said to have asked CBSE to consider scrapping the CBSE 10th 12th exams 2020. Parents said conducting exams amidst a situation when corona virus is yet to subside was not a good thing to do.

This will only increase the chances of contracting COVID-19 in them. The parents also said the board can allot marks for their remaining papers based on internal assessment and performance in practicals and examinations they took in March.

It is interesting to note that even Education Minister of Delhi is also said to have written to Union HRD Minister requesting him to cancel CBSE 10th 12th exams on 17 June considering the increase in number of corona virus cases.

ICSE Board also is said to have informed that they will also abide by the decision made by CBSE with regards to exams.

CBSE 10th 12th exams 2020 have become a matter of high interest for everyone. At the time of lockdown it was decided that exams for both 10th and 12th standards will be conducted only for pending subjects, pending subject exams were supposed to take place from 1 to 15 July.

It looks like that even Council for Indian School Certificate Examination (CISCE) is also likely to cancel the ICSE and ISC exams for class 10 and 12.

Evaluation for pending CBSE 10th 12th exams 2020 will be done and the results are likely to be declared this month.

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.

As a result of this, in 1952, the constitution of the Board was amended wherein its jurisdiction was extended to part-C and Part-D territories and the Board was given its present name ‘Central Board of Secondary Education’.

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.
