The Central Board of Secondary Education has postponed class 10 and 12 exams scheduled on February 28 and 29 in the violence-hit North East Delhi and parts of East Delhi, officials said.
"To reduce the stress on students, board will conduct fresh exams for these students. The next date of exam for affected students will be notified shortly," said CBSE Secretary Anurag Tripathi in its official notice.
"The board has maintained regular contact with the principal of all schools, especially in the affected areas and it has been brought to the notice that some
students residing in the affected areas have not been able to appear in exams outside the affected areas and vice-a-versa due to the situation prevailing in the city. Therefore keeping the future interests of the students in mind, the board has asked the principals to send the details to concerned regional offices of CBSE of all such students of Class X and Class XII who have missed out on the exams so far in Delhi, due to these difficult conditions," he added.
CBSE board exam candidates are requested to keep checking the official CBSE website for further updates on the fresh exam dates.
