Students are actively requesting for the CBSE exams 2021 to be conducted in online mode

Sir I would like to draw your attention for a moment. Please can you change the decision of conducting the board exam offline. If the classes can go on in online mode then why can't the exams be conducted in the same manner with measures taken to ensure there is no cheating!

However, the minister, Ramesh Pokhriyal, has made it clear in the previous webinars that CBSE 2021 exams will be conducted in offline mode only. Addressing the CBSE board students on December 31, the minister confirmed that the exams will be held in pen and paper mode.

Students are saying that it was difficult for them to prepare for the CBSE exams by learning online. Check tweet here:

The education minister interacted with the Kendriya Vidyalaya students on January 18 on Twitter and Facebook. He answered the queries of all the students.

He also ensured the students that the questions in the competitive exams will only be asked from the CBSE syllabus which has not been cut short. No questions will be asked from the 30 per cent reduced syllabus.
