The status quo about the date of CBSE Board Exam 2021 finally came to an end on Thursday 31 December 2020 when Union Education Minister Dr. Ramesh Pokhriyal ‘Nishank’ announced the dates of Board Exam 2021 for class X and XII. On the last day of the year 2020 i.e. 31 December, on the eve of New Year 2021, Dr. Nishank gave this information through live video on Twitter. The CBSE Board Examination for the year 2021 will start from May 4 and will continue till June 10 and the result of the exam will be declared by July 15. The practical examinations will start from March 1. Every year the CBSE board exams started from the month of February and ended by the end of March and exam results were also declared by May, but this year, due to Corona epidemic, all schools colleges were closed from the beginning and children’s education was online. This led everyone to believe that there should be some delay in board examinations. Dr. Nishank had discussed this subject with teachers and parents and assured them that a decision would be taken in the interest of students only. Along with the exam dates, the Education Minister also clarified that the examinations will be offline as usual. He thanked all the teachers of the country who worked hard during day to day classes and said that the teachers kept this academic session alive by taking online examinations even in times of epidemic.
