December 28, 2020: Kolkata schools affiliated to ICSE (ISC) and CBSE boards have decided to call board examinees after the winter break for project submission. Kolkata schools will conduct physical practical classes followed by project submission for 10th and 12th classes in January.

Since ICSE and CBSE Board Exam 2021 for Class 10 and 12 have been deferred, all educational institutions are at relief to not conduct practical classes immediately. The state government has not yet given the approval to reopen schools but it is expected that at the time of submitting projects, few board examinees will be present.

Students will also be called in small numbers for submitting their project. Following the guidelines and SOPs issued by the government, Kolkata schools will be filing the project submission forms.
