Education Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank released the datesheet through a video message and also wished the students all the best for the examinations. Now the datesheet is available on the official website of CBSE cbse.nic.in. In 2020, the exam schedule was 45 days, in 2021 it is 39 days. According to this, in 2021 it will take six days less to do the examinations. However, the board claims that it has given students enough time to prepare between the two main subjects. Due to the epidemic, the syllabus was reduced by 30 per cent for both class 10 and class 12.
