CLASS 10 AND 12 CBSE EXAMS WILL BEGIN ON MARCH 9
The CBSE announced its board examination dates on Monday. The Class 10 board exams will be held from March 9 to April 10. The Class 12 exams will start on March 9 and end on April 29.CBSE exams delayed by a week
The Class 10 and Class 12 exams of the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) will begin on March 9 this year, postponed by a week owing to Assembly polls in several states.
This will delay the new academic session, which begins on April 1 in Mumbai schools, by a couple of weeks. Around 10 lakh to 16 lakh students will appear for the Class 10 exams and Class 12 across India.
The board announced on Monday the exams were deferred on account of elections in five states. Now, Class 10 exams will end on April 10 and Class 12 on April 29.
“The board has given careful consideration to the situation before postponing exams by a week. This will allow students to get more time for preparation and ensure uninterrupted sequence of exams,” read the statement released by Rama Sharma, CBSE public relations officer.

The move, however, will affect the start of the academic year —
after exams, schools hold classes at least for a month, before closing
for the summer break.
With the Class 10 exams spilling over into April, schools will have to defer beginning the new session, said principals.
Some schools might have to postpone lectures for Class 11, while those acting as exam centres will need to push back all classes.
“Exam centres will be occupied till April 29, which is the last day for Class 12 exams. So they won’t be able to hold classes for the entire month,” said Avnita Bir, principal, RN Podar School, Santacruz.
The elections have delayed other board exams too — ICSE, ISC exams were also rescheduled after the election commission announced poll dates last week.
