CBSE Class 10, 12 Term 2 Board Exams 2022 To Be Cancelled Or Not?
According to an IANS report, the chances of the second term of the board examination being cancelled this year are very less, as health experts have previously stated that the third wave has been contained.
Speaking to IANS, Sanyam Bhardwaj, CBSE's controller of examinations, said: "If the situation gets worse, only then the second term of examinations will not be held. Marks obtained in the first phase will be considered final and based on them, the results will be prepared. But if such a situation does not arise and the second term exams are held successfully, the final result will be decided on the basis of 50-50 per cent marks of these two terms."
Vaccination Drive in Full Swing:
Both the Union Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Health are focusing their efforts at this critical time on ensuring that students between the ages of 15 and 18 are properly vaccinated so that they can take their board exams safely.
