"Our communication with other ministries is going on continuously. Covid-19 has spread all over the world. During these difficulties, we have done a lot of work online, but our goal is to reach the last students. The idea is to conduct examinations in the same manner as examinations are conducted earlier, we are not considering to conduct exams online," Dr. Ramesh Pokhriyal added.

During his last announcement, Dr. Ramesh Pokhriyal had stated that Classes 10 and 12 CBSE board exams 2021 will not be held in January and February and would be held thereafter. Additionally, he advocated that canceling exams and promoting students without them would “put a stamp” on the specific candidates and the batch as a whole.
