The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) on Wednesday (July 21) announced that classes C and XII exams for private candidates will be conducted from August 16 to September 15.
CBSE Examination Controller Sanyam Bhardwaj’s statement reads: “The exams will be conducted from August 16 to September 15 and their result will also be declared in minimum possible time to avoid any difficulty to them in admission in higher education,”
The Board ruled out declaring results of the private candidates based on an alternative assessment policy like that for regular candidates, saying neither schools nor the CBSE has any previous assessment record for these students. For private candidates no records based on which their assessment could be done without conduct of examination as done in case of regular students is available and thus tabulation policy cannot be implemented, it said
Earlier in the day, a group of private candidates staged a protest outside the CBSE headquarters alleging disparity between them and regular candidates.
