CBSE decides to go ahead with mock test for Boards on Monday

New Delhi:14.11.2021

In a notification issued on Saturday, Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) said that the mock test of downloading question papers for the upcoming board examinations would be held as scheduled on Monday.

The board examinations are scheduled to begin on November 16.

CBSE said that schools where exams were scheduled to be held between November 16 and November 20 would be allowed to participate in the mock test. Schools will also be permitted to download the OMR sheets for classes X and XII examinations, which are slated for November. For the OMR of exams to be held in December, a separate communication will be sent.

Following the notification, principals of several schools said that it appears that offline examinations will continue for the students of Delhi, even as the state government gave directions to close schools for a week due to the deteriorating air quality.

Awadhesh Kumar Jha, principal of SV Co-Ed Vidyalaya, Sector-8, Rohini, said, “As far as pollution is concerned, we are helpless. Other than that, all other precautions regarding social distancing and other guidelines.”

Sources in the CBSE said, “From November 16, CBSE will be starting with examinations for the skill courses. Very few schools have these papers, so the closure will not affect a large number of students.” TNN
