This big information came out
CBSE Exam Controller Sanyam Bhardwaj said that the board examinations will now be conducted in two phases. The first phase will be in February and the second phase in May. The results of these two phases will be declared in April and June respectively. He said that it will be mandatory for all the students to appear in the first phase, while the second phase examination will be optional, that is, students can appear in it if they want. Students will get a chance to improve their marks in any three subjects from subjects like science, mathematics, social science and languages.
Students will get this option
CBSE has said that class 10 students studying in the winter session will get the option to appear for the board exam in either the first or second phase. However, internal assessment will be done only once in the whole year. CBSE had released a draft policy in February this year and sought suggestions from the people on it. CBSE Chairman Rahul Singh said that this step has been taken as per the recommendations of the New Education Policy (NEP) 2020. NEP suggests that to reduce the pressure of board examinations, students should be allowed to take the exam twice in the same year, so that they can improve their performance.
