Lakhs of students across the country are waiting for the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) to announce the dates for CBSE Class 10, 12 board exams and it is expected that the CBSE would soon make an official announcement in this regard.

Union Minister of Education Ramesh Pokhriyal 'Nishank' is scheduled to hold an interaction with students, teachers and parents on December 10 on the issue of conduct of board examinations and competitive examinations in 2021.

Officials on December 2 told news agency PTI that consultations on dates for the conduct of the CBSE exams in 2021 are still underway. They also spoke on the mode of conducting the exams.

CBSE has already reduced the syllabus for Class 10, 12 board exams but the schools are still finding it tough to finish the reduced syllabus within time. It is to be noted that CBSE has recently released new papers for students preparing for 2021 CBSE Class 10, 12 board exams
