Despite rescheduling of board examination timetable due to violence in parts of Delhi, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is hoping to declare class X and XII results on time. CBSE is taking every step to be on time to avoid inconvenience to the students and hampering their chances of securing admission in undergraduate programmes.

“The board officials are working hard to conclude the exams on time. The evaluation process will begin soon after the examinations are over to ensure timely announcement of the results,” says Sanyam Bhardwaj, controller of examinations, CBSE.

“The board is coordinating with schools to arrange centres and avoid any clash with any other examinations,” Bhardwaj adds. He, however, refused to divulge other details related to the exams.

The exams in the affected areas of Delhi for class XII will begin on March 31 and conclude on April 14, while exams for class X will be conducted from March 21-30. The new schedule has been announced for the students in the violence-hit areas of northeast Delhi.

Since 1929, this is for the first time that the board has rescheduled the exams dates. “The board will have an exact number of students who appear in the extended schedule by March 16,” he adds.

Global outbreak of coronavirus has not changed the evaluation dates scheduled for the CBSE teachers. “There may be some changes in the CBSE schools in middle east that are temporarily closed. We do not have any confirmation on that,” adds Bharadwaj. More than 220 schools in 25 foreign countries – including 78 in the UAE are affiliated to CBSE. Despite the closure of schools in affected countries, the board has been able to conduct examinations scheduled until March 12.
