In the meantime, the Rajasthan Board of Secondary Education (RBSE) said that it is starting the board examination from June 6 as per the schedule.
In the similar manner, the CBSE has also started the preparation to hold the examination in Ajmer region and sending question papers and answersheets to examination centres where they are kept in nearby bank in lockers.
Official sources told TOI that the CBSE has given chance to change of examination centre as well as ample time for conducting practical examinations in schools. “Those students who got Covid or their families can also make request to board and school can re-conduct the practical examination of absentees latest by June 11,” said official.
However, the chorus for cancellation of CBSE Board Exams 2021 grew louder on Tuesday in wake of the exponential rise in COVID-19 cases even as the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) said it has not taken any decision yet in this regard.
On Tuesday, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and deputy CM Manish Sisodia appealed to the Centre to cancel the exams saying the examination centres can become super spreaders and alternative methods for assessment need to be explored.
