In a rare gesture of compassion and support, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has decided to exempt students who lost both their parents or their only surviving parent to Covid-19 from paying the CBSE examination fees. This was notified by the Board on Tuesday evening.
The CBSE affiliated schools in the country are already in the process of collecting fees and finalising the list of candidates for the class X and XII board examinations. A student to be included in the list of candidates (LOC), will have to pay the examination fees. The process of LOC started on September 17 and must be completed before September 30, the board had notified in an earlier statement.
The basic fee for five subjects is Rs 1,500 for class X and XII, and Rs 1,200 for SC/ST candidates of Delhi government schools. Along with the additional amount for each practical and additional or optional subject, the total fee would amount to around Rs 2,500 for many class XII students whose subjects have the practical component.
