NEW DELHI: The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) clarified on February 27 that fresh exams will be conducted for the students who couldn’t appear for exams due to communal violence in parts of northeast Delhi.
The CBSE, in a statement released on Thursday, said it has asked principals to send the details of such students to the board’s regional offices. It said that fresh exams are conducted to “reduce the stress on students”.
The dates for these exams are yet to be announced.
As Careers360 had reported on Wednesday, Delhi's school principals had been asked to furnish roll numbers of students who have been absent. It is for the 'parent schools' to verify whether the absentee is resident of a riot-hit part of Delhi.
On February 26, the Delhi High Court had ordered CBSE to draw up long-term plans for the northeast district. The board postponed Wednesday's exams for Class 12 but has not released a revised schedule yet.
