New Delhi: The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) will be conducting the remaining board exams for Class 10 and Class 12 at over 15,000 centres across India, Minister of Human Resource Development Ramesh Pokhriyal ‘Nishank’ announced on Monday.

Earlier, the CBSE was slated to hold exams at only 3,000 centres only. Moreover, the pending exams will be held at students’ schools and not at external centres, the minister had announced last week.

“Number of exam centres have been increased to ensure social distancing and minimise travel,” HRD Minister Nishank said.
