CBSE Board Exams 2020: Class 12th practical exam 2021 tentative dates announced; check exam SOPs

Amid the dilemma over CBSE board exam dates, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has released the tentative dates for Class 12th board practical exams. The dates have been released amid the speculation of postponing or cancellation of exams in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.

As per India Today, the practical exams for class 12th will begin on January 1 and will end on February 8, 2020 (tentative dates).

CBSE announced the class 12th board practical exam 2020-21 tentative dates a day after the CBSE secretary Anurag Tripathi had announced that CBSE Board exams will be conducted soon.

“The board exams will happen for sure and a schedule will be announced very soon. The CBSE is making plans and will soon reveal how it will do test assessments. During March-April we were flummoxed as to how to move forward, but our schools and teachers rose to the occasion and transformed, trained themselves in using new technology for teaching purposes, and within few months conducting online classes using different apps became normal,” Tripathi said during a webinar on "New Education Policy (NEP): Brighter future of school education" organised by ASSOCHAM.

Check out CBSE Class 12 practical exams SOPs:

• During practical exams, there will be internal and external examiners.
• Schools will conduct the practical exam on the different dates allotted by the Board.
• An observer will supervise the board practical exam and project evaluation on behalf of the Board.
• After conducting the practical board exams, schools will have to upload marks on the link provided by the board.

Note: In a bid to avoid any confusion among board students, CBSE has clearly mentioned that the announced exam dates are only tentative in nature and that the exact dates for the practical exams will be notified soon.
