The Central Council for Secondary Education (CBSE) will conduct second semester exams from April 26. Students will appear for the first subjective exams of the year as semester 1 was only MCQ exams. More than 30 lakh students who have registered for classes 10 and 12 will take their second board exam this year. This is the first time CBSE has held two board exams in a year. This was introduced as a solution to the pandemic and as a step to make board exams accessible.
The decision has received mixed reactions from students. However, while some appreciate CBSE’s move to announce exam dates about a month before the exam to allow for preparation, some argue that having two exams in the middle of a pandemic is unfair to them. A digital protest demanding online exams or online classes or internal assessment-based results, like last year, has resumed.
Double board is an experiment for us. Each of them has suffered from covid symptomatic/asymptomatic situations. Our family is also trapped in a pandemic. Fate has already experimented on us and checked our tolerance/immunity.#CBSE you stop playing with us #CBSECANCELBOARDS2022— Aditi (@Aditi90116479) February 10, 2022
Many also argue that delayed exams and delayed results will affect those preparing to study abroad. The CBSE board exams will base the final result on the combined scores of term 1 and term 2.
Postponing exams is not a solution at all, if they are so desperate to take exams offline then they should do it on time as students want to apply for September intake in foreign university will not be given enough time to apply report if the results are late #CBSE #onlineexams #Lifeisoverexams— ItsyourAbbey (@HeyItsyourAbbey) February 10, 2022
CBSE will release new admission cards for the term 2 exams for classes 10 and 12. The admission cards will be available at cbse.nic.in. New exam centers will be assigned to students that will be different from the first semester exams. In the exams of the first semester, students took exams from their own school, but many cases of fraud came to the surface.
