The CBSE class 10 board exam for 2021 has been cancelled, while the class 12 board exam has been postponed due to the ongoing Covid-19 situation in India. Prime Minister Narendra Modi presided over a high-level meeting that included Union Education Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal, Principal Secretary to the Prime Minister, Cabinet Secretary, School and Higher Education Secretaries, and other top officials.
Nobody can predict what will happen. It could also change. In that case, offline exams for class 12 students would be preferable because they will determine their futures.
If the ministry had cancelled the 12th board exams right away, it might have created havoc on the ground in terms of how students will get college admissions.
