Ramesh Pokhriyal Live Webinar - No plan to cancel NEET 2021, JEE Main may allow more attempts

Exam Postponement Updates

Pokhriyal said that If the situation remains the same, that the exams have to be postponed, we will make a decision then. Further, no syllabus will be reduced. He further said that We are discussing if JEE Main 2021 can be conducted twice, thrice or four times and we will try to announce NEET dates soon so that students will have ample time to study and prepare for NEET 2021 exam.

Practical exams are conducted at the school level. If it seems that you are not able to participate in practical classes, the situation is not right, the issue will be discussed.

The Education Minister said: "We conducted JEE, NEET exams on time during the COVID-19 pandemic, keeping in mind that a precious year of students does not get wasted.”

NEET proved to be the biggest exam conducted in the world during the pandemic.

CBSE removed 'FAIL' term from the mark sheets which looks like a harsh word and it can impact the mental health of students. So, CBSE used ‘Essential Repeat’ or any other term in the result documents as required.

When schools will reopen?

Pokhriyal said that 17 states have opened their schools although attendance is very low. He also talked about the safety of the students.

CBSE 10th exams in offline mode

Addressing the students during the live session, Pokhriyal said that the CBSE board exams will be conducted in offline mode. There had been demands for postponement of Classes 10 and 12 board examinations which are usually slated for February- March.
