There is a good reason behind the suggestion to conducte CBSE board exam in May, for this would give enough time for students to prepare for the exam.

The usual trend is to conduct CBSE board exam from February to March every year.

However, various factors ensured that CBSE board exam for 10th and 12th classes never took place according to the actually planned schedule.

While one was violent protests witnessed over CAA, the other was outbreak of corona virus. Both these factors disrupted the exam schedule.

As many felt the academic sessions in schools across the country began late this year, the demand demand to conduct CBSE board exam beyond February – March grew stronger.

Late beginning of academic schedule and conducting exams very early means students would be left with very little time for preparation.

It is amidst this situation that Union Education Minister made the announcement regarding dates for CBSE board exam for 2021.

Union Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank at a webinar earlier said CBSE board exam for 10th and 12th standards will not be held in February to March as per the usual trend.

He also said dates for CBSE board exam will be announced after extensive consultation with all stake holders.
