CBSE Term 1 board exams for major subjects will begin on November 30 for Class 10 students and on December 1 for Class 12 students. This is the first time that CBSE is holding board exams twice -- Term 1 in November-December and Term 2 in March-April.
This exam is important in many ways since this is also the first time that board exams will see MCQs. If for some reason the second examination cannot be taken, then the marks obtained in the first examination will be made the basis of the result.
According to CBSE officials, this time the protocol has been made more strict, so that social distancing can also be followed at the time of the board exams. In these examinations, about 22 lakh students will appear for Class 10, while for Class 12, about 14 lakh candidates are likely to appear for the exam.
Before the commencement of the CBSE Term 1 board exam, it is important to know what kind of examinations are being held in Term 1 and whether necessary precautions are being taken by the board.
