Class 12 students in Ludhiana relieved after CBSE announces new exam dates
The pending exams of Class 12 include business studies, geography, Hindi (elective and core), home science, sociology, computer science (old and new), information practice (old and new), information technology and biotechnology
City students appearing for the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) Class 12 exams heaved a sigh of relief after the Centre on Friday announced that the board will hold the remaining exams between July 1 and July 15.
Students said that the authorities should conduct the pending exams within the first week of July as they were tired of revising the same concepts again and again. They further said that the date sheet should also be declared well in time so that the applicants can prepare according to the exam schedule.
The pending exams of Class 12 include business studies, geography, Hindi (elective and core), home science, sociology, computer science (old and new), information practice (old and new), information technology and biotechnology.
A student of humanities at BCM Senior Secondary School, Basant Avenue, Dugri, Astha Munra, said, “I had to appear in the Punjabi exam on March 19, which was postponed by CBSE and now after 50 days, the Centre has announced that the board exams will be held between July 1 and July 15. I think the authorities must conduct the exams now. I am fed up of revising the concepts. I want to get free and focus on getting admission in college.”
Prabjot Singh of Guru Nanak Public School (GNPS) said, “I will feel relieved only after I appear for the exams in July. The lockdown imposed due to Covid-19 outbreak resulted in the postponement of the board exams, which left many students worried about their future. I revise the lessons daily and read newspapers to keep myself updated about the pandemic.”
Srishti Verma, a student of commerce at BCM Senior Secondary School, Basant Avenue, Dugri, said she had lost all hopes regarding the pending board exams until the new dates were announced. She further said that she was left with two exams, business studies and computer science, and after appearing for these, she will explore various career options as she wants to become an entrepreneur.
