Union Education Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal clarified that questions in CBSE Board Exams 2021, JEE Main, NEET will only be asked from the revised CBSE syllabus.
The Union education minister Ramesh Pokhriyal, in a live interaction with students, clarified that the questions asked in CBSE board exams 2021 for Class 10th, and Class 12th will only be asked from the reduced syllabus. The CBSE had reduced the syllabus by 30 percent considering the COVID19 outbreak followed by subsequent lockdowns.
The minister said that questions for CBSE boards and other CBSE based competitive exams, such as the NEET and JEE Main, will only be asked from the revised CBSE 2021 syllabus. He cleared by saying, “The students will only have to study the revised syllabus for their CBSE board exams and other exams based upon CBSE board syllabus 2021. The questions will only be asked from that portion." The minister also said that the exams will be “conducted successfully” similar to the way JEE Main and NEET were conducted.
Responding to another question, Ramesh Pokhriyal said that the ministry is “trying to resume physical classes as soon as possible”. He also said that even after schools reopen, blended modes of education will be followed. “The classes will remain open but online classes will continue simultaneously. The online education and physical classes both will be kept at 50:50 ratio,” “You have seen how successfully the NEET and JEE Main exams were conducted. We conducted the previous boards as well which could not be done during the COVID19 pandemic. So, students and parents need not worry. There is enough time and the situation might also be much better by then,” he added saying that efforts will be taken to ensure that Kendriya Vidyalayas come up across the country.
