"The board exams of class 10th and 12th will be held offline according to the timetable released earlier by Chhattisgarh Board of Secondary Education (CGBSE) while complying with all coronavirus preventive guidelines issued by the Centre and state government from time to time," the notification added.

Schools, colleges, and universities, which were shut since the coronavirus-induced lockdown imposed in the country last year, were reopened from February 15, only for classes 9 to 12. CGBSE 10^th exams 2021 are scheduled between April 15 and May 1 while CGBSE 12^th exams will be held from May 3 till My 24.
