Over 28 lakh will take Class X, XII exams across the country

More than 28 lakh candidates will appear for Class X and XII board examinations that will be conducted by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) from Monday, a CBSE official said.
A total of 16,38,428 candidates have registered for Class X examination, while 11,86,306 candidates have registered for Class XII examination.

In Delhi, 2,89,958 students — out of which 1,38,311 are girls — will be taking the Class X exam, while 2,50,736 — out of which 1,21,397 are girls — will be taking the Class XII exam. For Class X exam, 1,519 students will be appearing under the differently-abled category, while 1,131 have registered under the category for the Class XII examination.

Exam reintroduced

The Class X board examination has been reintroduced from this year after the government decided to do away with the Comprehensive and Continuous Evaluation (CCE) adopted earlier.

The Class X exam will be conducted at 4,453 centres across India and 78 centres abroad. The Class XII exam will be held at 4,138 centres in India and 71 centres abroad.

“The board has made appropriate arrangements with state authorities and local police to ensure trouble free examinations throughout the country,” the CBSE official said.

Candidates suffering from diabetes are allowed to carry eatables inside the examination centres.
From this year, the CBSE is also allowing candidates with special needs to write their exams using laptops but their device will have to undergo an inspection by the computer teacher at the exam centre and no Internet access will be allowed.
