New Delhi, 18 April 2022: The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has planned to restore its previously conducted once-a-year board examination format for both Class 10 and Class 12 from the next academic year onwards. This means, the CBSE 2023 board exam will only be held once at the end of the academic year and not twice like it has happened this year.
Note: For 2022, CBSE term-I board examinations were conducted in November-December while CBSE term-II board examinations are scheduled to start on 26 April 2022.

CBSE Board Exams 2022 – Half Yearly Examination
The decision to undertake term-wise board examinations was taken by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) after the 2020-21 board exams were canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The board then introduced a half yearly format for Class 10 and Class 12, of which term-I board exams were conducted in November-December last year, while the Term-II examination will commence 26 April onwards. Weightage of marks as per CBSE for both the terms is 50 percent. However, term-2 marks will be given more weightage.
Sanyam Bhardwaj, Controller of Examinations, CBSE, said that this was a one-time action implemented in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and that now since the schools are back in session and things are returning back to normal, the board will resume its previously followed pattern.

Bhardwaj further added that “the decision to go for the two-term board exams was taken as a special measure during COVID-19 pandemic, [and] the board never said that it is going to continue [the same pattern] for the upcoming academic sessions as well.”
After having received feedback from various schools, the board has decided to revert to the previously incorporated single board exam pattern for both Class 10 and Class 12. An official notification for the same is expected to be issued by the board on the official CBSE website in the near future.
CBSE Board Exams 2022 – Demand for Home Centers
With COVID-19 cases on the rise in the national capital, particularly in schools, many parents and teachers are concerned about their children’s health. The Covid-19 has become increasingly alarming for many pupils at a time when board examinations are just round the corner.
In the face of this, a number of students and their parents have flooded social media platforms such as Twitter to urge the concerned authorities to provide a resolution for this year’s CBSE board exams.
The students and parents are demanding the authorities to conduct board exams in centers near the students’ homes to prevent the spread of the deadly variant. However, there has been no official notification issued on behalf of the board as of now.
