The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has published the schedule of the term 2 practical examinations for classes 10 and 12. According to CBSE, the practical exams will commence on March 2 and the last day to hold practical exams is 10 days before the theory exams. The board exams for term-2 will take place on April 26.
Through a new notification, schools have been asked to conclude the practical exams 10 days before the date of the last examination of the respective grade. The board will be appointing external examiners to conduct the Class XII practicals, while the ones for Class X students will be supervised by the schools themselves.
Schools have been asked to follow Covid protocols while conducting these examinations. “To avoid crowding and social distancing, the schools may consider splitting the group/batch of students in sub groups of 10 students each. First group of 10 students may attend the lab work while the other is doing pen and paper work and vice-versa,” guidelines stated.
