Supreme Court on Thursday, November 18 will hear petition for seeking directions to CBSE, CISCE Term 1 Exam 2021 to be conducted in hybrid- offline and online or blended mode.
The plea has been filed by six students of the Central Board of Secondary Education and Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations against both board’s decision to conduct the term 1 examination in offline mode only. These six students have alleged that the entire exercise of the boards in conducting the term one or semester one examinations in offline mode only is “patently unreasonable.

CBSE Term 1 board exams for minor subjects have already commenced on November 16 onwards for Class 12 and from November 17 for Class 10. The first semester exams of the CISCE are scheduled to begin on November 22 for Class 12 and from November 29 for Class 10.
