The board's Grade 10 exams began on February 15 and will end on March 20. Grade 12 exams started on February 22 and were to go on until March 30. There are two exams scheduled for today and tomorrow.
A paper for Grade 10 examinations (Science) is ongoing as we speak and there is another paper scheduled for tomorrow (Grade 12- Political Science) as well. As of now, this will go ahead as scheduled," added Vipul.
The board examinations for Grade 10 and 12 are held simultaneously for students across all CBSE- curriculum schools throughout the world and approximately three sets of questions papers are equally distributed to students. If exam dates are changed, it would mean CBSE has to draw up a fresh set of question papers just for schools in countries affected by closures arising from the Covid- 19 crisis.
