The exams, that were scheduled to be held from July 1 to July 15 will be conducted as and when the situation is suitable to conduct the exams, the CBSE Board told the Supreme Court. Giving its final word on the cancellation of CBSE Board Exam 2020, the CBSE Board said the scheme has been set up where class 12 students will be assessed on the basis of the last 3 exams. CBSE Board Class 12 students will also have an option to opt for exams that are to be conducted later.
The Supreme Court, meanwhile, has taken note of Centre's submission and has asked the CBSE Board to issue fresh notification clarifying details of Class XII board exams. However, the CBSE Board had not given an official confirmation on the cancellation of pending CBSE Board Class 10 and CBSE Board Class 12 exams. Lakhs of students, who had appeared for the CBSE Board Exam 2020 were waiting for the CBSE Board's word on the pending CBSE Board exams. In the wake of the rising number of coronavirus cases, students associated with the CBSE Board and their parents had appealed to the Supreme Court to cancel the pending CBSE Board Class 10 and CBSE Board Class 12 exams.With the rise in coronavirus cases across the country, final year exams with other universities are also likely to be cancelled. A final decision on exams with university and educational institutes is yet awaited.
