CBSE Board Exam 2020: Delhi prepares for remaining exam; know the challenges

“The situation in Delhi is a matter of concern and the Delhi Disaster Management Authority will have to deliberate if it is possible to conduct these exams here, and convey the same to the board… After that, we will go by whatever is decided and we can conduct the sanitisation work within a week… hundreds of our schools are also currently engaged as ration distribution centres,” an education department official said:

However, schools in Delhi are doing all preparation to conduct the exam smoothly keeping the current schedule in mind. While schools are preparing, there is also concern about whether exams should be conducted given the prevailing circumstances.

“I will be placing masks and water jugs outside each classroom. The children’s hands will be sanitised outside the gates,” said the principal of a government school in Rohini to a media house.

Meanwhile, parents have started an online campaign hashtagged “studentlivesmatter", "livesoverexams" and "cancelboardexams”. Parents have demanded that CBSE and CISCE Board should not conduct the exams and the result should be declared by either calculating the average of tests already held and or on the basis of internal assessment. 

This year, CBSE Board Results 2020 for class 10th and class 12th is expected to be declared by August 15. This is the first time, that the Board will be announcing the Class 10 Results and Class 12 Result by mid-August.
