Online test for some CBSE students

Students of Classes IX and XI in several CBSE schools will have to write online tests for promotion to the next class.

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) had issued a circular earlier this month, asking schools to promote students of Classes IX and XI to the next year on the basis of school assessments or by giving them an opportunity to appear in online or offline tests. This was meant for schools which could not complete their examination, evaluation and promotion process before the lockdown.

Chief minister Mamata Banerjee has announced that schools in the state will remain shut till June 10.
