CBSE relaxes exam norms for children of military personnel fighting 'terrorism'
The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE)
has decided to extend the relaxation in norms for children of armed forces
personnel and those who died fighting terrorism and left-wing extremism for the
upcoming board exams for class 10 and 12.
After the Pulwama terror attack, the CBSE had in 2019 decided
to extend certain exemptions to wards of martyrs of Armed forces and
paramillitary forces, Controller of Examinations Sanyam Bhardwaj said.
"In 2020, the CBSE has decided to extend relaxations to
the wards of armed forces and paramillitary forces who are fighting terrorism
and left wing extremism for the country and are martyred in the line of duty
during this period," he said
"Wards appearing for class 12 or 10 examination in 2020
and wish to change their centre of examination in the same city, they would be
allowed to do so. It will also be permissible if they want to change the
examination centre to some other city," he added.
The board has directed that if students have missed their
practical examination, the same should be conducted as per their convenience by
April 2, 2020 and if the students wish to appear in examination in a subject
offered later, they will be permitted to do so.
"The candidates are required to make these requests to
their schools which will then forward them to concerned CBSE regional
office," Bhardwaj said
The CBSE Class XII Board exams will be held from February 15
and conclude on March 30, while the Class X Board exams will be held from
February 15 to March 20.
