CBSE Board Exams 2021: Considering the Delhi government's suggestion regarding not opening the schools in the capital any time soon and the nonavailability of the notification from CBSE about changes in the 2021 board exam schedule, Delhi-NCR schools are mulling to conduct pre-board examinations for CBSE 10th and CBSE 12th students. For these students, this entire academic year has been conducted online.

Schools conduct pre-board exams to prepare students for the board exams and give them an idea of exam pattern, format, marking scheme and more. Now, with the possibility of conducting pre-boards online as well, schools have two primary concerns: giving students the practice of writing the exam with the complete syllabus and ensuring no unfair means are used. Several schools said they had hoped to conduct pre-boards offline but this now seems unlikely, especially in Delhi where Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia said that city schools are likely to remain closed till a vaccine is available.

According to the reports, Rashmi Biswal, principal, DAV Public School, Pushpanjali Vihar said, β€œEarlier, we had hoped to conduct the pre-boards offline by getting board-class students to appear for the exam in small numbers at the school. But it seems unlikely now, so we have decided to conduct the exam online. Most board papers are 80-mark exams, and we want to give students the practice of writing the whole paper. But we also want to make the experience simpler for them. So, we have decided to divide each paper into two parts, so students can write and submit both parts in one day with an interval in between, or on two separate days. This will make the logistics of converting the photos of their answers into PDFs and submitting them easier, and make evaluation less stressful for teachers.” 

Meanwhile, teachers are also worried about the unfair practices students can follow while giving exams. In order to keep a check on the same, schools are trying to come up with different ideas like keeping the webcam on while giving exams, use of two devicesβ€” one to download and refer to the question paper and the other in which the camera can be on continuously to monitor, etc.
