The Central Board of Secondary Education has decided to conduct online exams for the students of standard 9 and 11 those who have not passed their examination this year. This step is taken as lots of queries were coming up from distressed parents.

The board has taken this major step as a one-time measure due to the extraordinary situation caused by covid-19 pandemic.

According to the board, opportunities will be extended to students irrespective of whether their exams have been completed, or results have been released. The facility is to be extended irrespective of the number of subjects and attempts.

As per the board, all CBSE affiliated schools can conduct the online/offline/innovative examination and may decide the promotion of the students on the basis of their performance in the test. CBSE has also directed schools to provide an ample amount of time to the students before scheduling a test.
