Earlier this month, CBSE announced that Board exams will be conducted in written mode and not online in 2021. However, schools across the country were closed from March to contain the spread of COVID-19. This changed the entire planning, thereby introducing the concept of remote teaching and online classes for the students. To save the precious time of students, several schools have already conducted pre-board exams online to keep the students prepared.
Besides the above details, the Education Minister also discussed the role of the National Education Policy (NEP) and its different provisions during the live interaction. He also shared his views on the NEP 2020’s Academic Bank of Credit, a holistic report card, and how exams including JEE Main, JEE Advanced, and NEET were conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic.
