'Don't want offline exams, it's risky...' say CBSE Classes 9 and 11 students

NEW DELHI : After the confirmation of Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) Class 10 and 12 exams mode and dates, Classes 9 and 11 students took to Twitter to request conducting exams in online mode instead of offline. The exams are expected to be conducted in March/April 2021.
