Giving further details, the CBSE said that the term-1 exams will be held for a duration of 90 minutes and will be held for half the exam only.

Saying that the CBSE offers 114 subjects for class 12 students and 75 subjects for class 10, the board said it will hold exams only for major (subjects offered by all schools) subjects. “If exams of all subjects are conducted, the entire duration of exams would be about 40-45 days. Therefore, to avoid learning loss of students, CBSE would conduct exams of only “subjects offered by all schools”,” the board said in the official notice.

This year, the CBSE will conduct the exams in two terms. The term-1 exams being held in November-December are more crucial as the CBSE in an earlier circular had said that “in case if due to the COVID-19 situation if the term-2 exams are not held then the result will be announced based on term-1 exams.”
