Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), on January 9, 2017, announced that the annual examinations of class 10 and 12 would be conducted by CBSE from March 9, 2017, postponing the examination date by a week. Now in the wake of students' concerns about the revised schedule of some papers, CBSE has further changed the examination dates of a few subjects of class 10 and 12.
Previously, in view of the state assembly elections being conducted in five states of Punjab, Goa, Manipur, Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh, the board decided to reschedule the exams.
In an official release, the Chairman CBSE R.K Chaturvedi informed that the board had given careful consideration to the situation and the change in the dates will now allow the students to get more time for the preparation and ensure uninterrupted sequence of examinations. The board has made all possible efforts to maintain reasonable time gap between the major papers and also ensured that the students appearing for Joint Engineering Exam (JEE) and upcoming National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) complete the CBSE examinations ahead of these entrance exams.
According to the communique, the annual exam result will be declared on time as the board has adopted several IT initiatives to aid faster result processing.
CBSE class 10 and 12 examinations
About 1667573 students will be appearing for class 10 exams across the country under CBSE board year, and 10,98,420 will attempt the class 12 exams.
For class 10, the board has decided to change the dates for Tamil, Gurung and National Cadet Cops subject exams. While for class 12, the dates have been changed for Theatre studies, Tangkhul, Physical Education, Sociology and Food Service-II.
