New Delhi: The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) will conduct Term 1 of the two-term exams for Class X and Class XII beginning mid-November. The board is expected to announce the exam dates by mid-October.
The exam, spanning 90 minutes, will be held offline wherein students will have to physically attend the examination hall allotted to them and take the exam, comprising multiple choice questions (MCQs), on Optical Mark Recognition (OMR) sheets. There will be no practical exams.
In view of the COVID-19 situation, the CBSE will hold the Term 1 examination in a flexible schedule with a window period of four to eight weeks for schools situated in different parts of the country and abroad.
The second term exams will be held in March-April and will comprise subjective type questions and practical components. The final score of a student will be based on his/her combined performance in both terms, the CBSE had earlier said.
