As per the latest information from the board, the examination dates will be announced soon, and students' own schools will not be their examination centres,"
"Also, the examinations will be conducted in the same manner as they always have been without any further reduction in syllabus. I would also advise the children to start maintaining their practical files as the board may plan on conducting the practical exams physically," she said.
