CBSE Class 10, 12 board exams 2023 date released: Know exam date, pattern, syllabus

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is expected to hold class 12 board exams from July 15 to August 26 as most of the states have favoured conducting exams. The exact date sheet will be released on June 1 after the board holds a review meeting to access the feasibility of holding exams. A section of students has been protesting on social media platforms seeking the cancelation of class 12 offline exams.

A high-level meeting was conducted on Sunday between the Centre and the states. Union Education Minister as well as Education Ministers from all the states were present in the meeting. As per the official report, most of the states were in favour of conducting the exams.

Sources told that the CBSE has proposed conducting exams between July 15 and August 26 and the result to be declared in September. The board exams will be held in offline mode and the final decision will be out on June 1.

As per the sources, the examinations proposed would be conducted in two phases. If a student is unable to attend the exam in Phase 1, then he/she would be able to appear for the exam in phase 2. If conditions are conducive, the Phase 1 is proposed between July 15 to August 26 and the second phase from August 8 to August 26. The result can be declared within 15 days. 

The exams, however, will not be held as per the regular protocol. The CBSE had suggested either holding exams only or a few subjects or holding exams for 1.5 hours instead of three hours. Most of the states in the meeting held yesterday between high-profile ministers and state education secretaries have drifted towards the latter option. Some ministers, however, had demanded a mix of both the possibilities.

The examinations will be held under strict precautions. Social distancing will be followed while making students sit for the exams. In 2020 too the CBSE board exams were held amid precautions, however, the exams had to be cancelled mid-way. While parents and students had raised concerns that regarding the health and the worry of the third wave of Covid-19 pandemic, Education Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal said both students and teacher’s safety, security and future are supremely important to the board.

Most of the states were in the favour of second option while some even favoured a mix of two. A few states like Delhi, Maharashtra and Kerala asked for vaccination of students before examination. Delhi deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia who also holds the education portfolio demanded that class 12 students should be vaccinated before appearing for the exams.

All eyes are now at the Education Ministry and the final decision which is now expected by June 1.

PM Modi

In the aftermath of the deadly terror attack in Pahalgam that claimed 26 lives last week, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will lead a series of crucial meetings tomorrow to review India’s security preparedness.

The Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS), the nation’s apex body for national security decisions, is scheduled to convene around 11 am. This will be the second high-level review since the tragic incident in Jammu and Kashmir.

Following the CCS meeting, the Cabinet Committee on Political Affairs (CCPA), chaired by the Prime Minister, will also gather to discuss political and strategic issues. Senior leaders, including Defense Minister Rajnath Singh, Home Minister Amit Shah, Road Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari, Health Minister JP Nadda, and Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, will participate in the deliberations.

Later, the Cabinet’s Economic Affairs Committee will meet, culminating in a full cabinet session.

During the previous CCS meeting, held two days after the attack, the government placed security forces across the country on heightened alert and vowed strict action against those responsible. Measures taken included suspending the Indus Water Treaty with Pakistan, halting SAARC visas, closing the Wagah-Attari border, and downgrading diplomatic ties with Islamabad.

Additionally, Pakistani nationals residing in India were asked to return to their country, with a slight extension given to those holding medical visas until Tuesday. In retaliation, Pakistan announced the suspension of all bilateral agreements with India, including the historic Simla Agreement.

As tensions between the two countries escalate, tomorrow’s meetings are expected to chart the next course of action amid rising security concerns.
