Board exam delay to August will hamper college admissions, study abroad plans: School principals list problems

Several school principals say that delaying the CBSE board exams and other board exams to August will hamper college admissions and study abroad plans. Check out the list of issues with the recent proposals.

The CBSE board exam 2021 for Class 12 will likely be held in July-August and the evaluation time will probably stretch till September. The CBSE timeline will be confirmed by Education Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal on June 1 and the deadline for suggestions from the states is May 25. However, such a case will hamper the college admissions schedule, especially for those who want to study abroad, say school principals. The Central Board of Secondary Training (CBSE) has proposed conducting the exams between July 15 and August 26 and the end result to be declared in September.
