Tripura Board of Secondary Education (TBSE) will conduct the TBSE 10^th, TBSE 12^th board exams 2021 in May for the academic session 2020-21. The examinations have been delayed this year due to COVID19 pandemic. TBSE president Dr. Bhabatosh Saha told media that Tripura Board has asked schools to submit applications for online registration beyond the deadline on December 7.

The Board is closely following the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) to set its examination time table. It has also relaxed the schedule of online registration and enrollment beyond deadline to suit the pandemic-induced crisis in schools from far-flung areas.

The online registrations for the board examinations 2021 had started on November 7 and were scheduled to end on December 7. Though the board hasn’t revised the schedule yet, it has asked schools to submit applications for online registration beyond the deadline.

“We have not officially announced any revised deadline yet. Only around 50 percent schools could complete their online registration process within deadline. So, we are asking rest of the schools to follow procedure and submit applications now. Since it is the first time that the entire process has gone online, this will take some more time”, Dr. Saha said.

The online registrations is for class 9 students, who would appear in their first board examinations next year while for those in the 11th standard, it is enrollment process. The enrollment process, which went offline till this year, would go online from December 21.

On next year’s board examination schedule, Dr. Saha said, “Our annual calendar places the board examinations in March. However, due to the pandemic, it is clear that the exams might be deferred till mid-April or May. We are trying to follow the central board of education and waiting for them to announce the dates. “The state education board has a governing body meeting scheduled on December 16 and we are expecting to take a decision then,” Dr Saha added.

According to the revised norms, Madhyamik exams would have two types of mathematics questions — basic and standard. While the standard paper is the usual mathematics paper and passing it essentially means getting an option to choose pure science subjects in the higher secondary stage, passing the basic mathematics wouldn’t allow them to choose mathematics in the higher secondary stage, leaving them with options to choose bioscience, humanities or so. However, such students can drop a year and appear in standard mathematics papers.
