CBSE Offers Second Chance for Hindi Exam on Holi
The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has announced that Class 12 students who cannot appear for the Hindi board exam on March 15 due to Holi celebrations will get another opportunity. The decision addresses concerns from regions where the festival might interfere with the scheduled exam.
Why CBSE Took This Decision?
Examination Controller Sanyam Bhardwaj acknowledged that while Holi will be celebrated on March 14 in most parts of India, some regions might extend festivities to March 15. Understanding the potential challenges students may face, CBSE has decided to allow them to take a special exam later.
Who Can Appear for the Special Exam?
Students unable to attend the Hindi exam on March 15 can take the special examination alongside those who miss exams due to participation in national or international sports events. CBSE follows this policy to ensure fairness in academic evaluations.
