Some class 10 exams already canceled

The board says that it is most important to give priority to the safety and mental health of the students, hence considering the circumstances, necessary decisions are being taken from time to time.
A large number of Indian families live in Gulf countries and their children study through CBSE curriculum. Many schools in these countries are affiliated to CBSE and every year thousands of students appear for the board examinations. In such a situation, any kind of instability or tension in the area affects the studies and examinations of the students. This is why CBSE assesses the circumstances from time to time and takes necessary decisions.
