With the spike in Covid-19 cases, several state boards, as well as CBSE and CISCE, are mulling when and how to conduct the class 10, 12 board exams 2022. Last year, almost all the boards had to cancel their exams hence some of the boards decided to divide the exams into two parts for this academic year. From Uttar Pradesh to Rajasthan, here’s the latest status of board exams 2022:
Rajasthan board
The Rajasthan Board of Secondary Education (RBSE) has deferred the practical exam for class 12 boards due to the surge in COVID-19 cases across the state. The exams were slated to begin on January 17.
