Even Union Minister for Human Resource Development Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank is said to have tweeted this.
CBSE Exams for 10th and 12th classes were postponed in the past.

First time it was postponed when protests were witnessed across the nation with regards to Citizenship Amenment Act.

After the protests subsided, new CBSE Exam datesheet was formed for conducting the exams. However, exams could not be conducted as nation came to standstill due to outbreak of corona virus.

Not only CBSE 10th and 12th exams, even competitive exams like Civil Services Prelims, Indian Forest Service Exam were postponed along with university graduate and post graduate exams and state board 10th and 12th exams.

Since then on students across the nation are eager to know the CBSE Exam datesheet. In the recent past Union Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank announced the exams will be from 1 to 15 July.

Then came the announcement that the datesheet would be released on 6 May in the evening by 5 pm. Now students have to wait till 18 May for CBSE Exam datesheet.

The enthusiasm for the CBSE Exam datesheet will be no less as students in no less number will be writing the exams every year.

This year too over 18 lakh students are said to have applied for CBSE 10th exams, and for 12th exams, over 12 lakh candidates are said to have applied.

While many have come to praise the effort taken towards bringing out CBSE Exam datesheet for 2020 exams, good number of them suggested lenient evaluation.

S.R. Aruanandam, a Chemistry teacher says this year stands to be quite different. ‘Much damage has been caused now owing to the protests, outbreak of the virus.’

Couple of students could have prepared well, while many others would not have due to valid reasons. As this year stands different from the previous ones, invigilators can take a lienient approach during evaluation.

M.R. Viswanathan, another teacher at a coaching institute said bringing out CBSE Exam datesheet is good but the question is will all students be able to write the exam?

Students who are from the areas where corona virus cases are high may not be able to write the exam, he says. Best thing would be to conduct exams in two schedules, says M. Muthukrishnan, also a teacher.

One schedule will be for students from the areas where there is no outbreak. The other schedule will be for those who are from areas where there are COVID 19 cases.

CBSE Exam datesheet can be different for both these schedules, he reminds. Couple of others have suggested that the students can be passed based on internal assessments as currently the situation may not be favourable for conducting the exam.
