Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) will conduct the second-term board exam for classes 10 and 12 from April 26, the examination controller said on Wednesday. The examinations will be held in offline mode.
“The board after discussion with various stakeholders and taking into consideration the Covid-19 situation in the country has decided to conduct second-term board exams in offline mode only,” CBSE Examination Controller Sanyam Bhardwaj said.
“The theory exams will begin from April 26, 2022. The datesheet for classes 10 and 12 will be released soon,” he added.
As per reports, students will answer both objective and subjective questions in term 2 exams. Only objective or multiple-choice questions were included in the term-1 papers. For the exam, the board will follow the pattern of sample question papers. Last month, sample papers were released on the CBSE academic website.
The academic session was bifurcated into two terms after the board exams could not be conducted last year in view of the pandemic and the results had to be announced using an alternative assessment scheme.
The first-term exams were conducted in offline mode in November-December last year. The result of the first-term exams is yet to be announced.
The board also warned the students that messages and information spreading on social media may be considered only after verifying the facts available on its website.
