New Delhi: The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has decided to conduct the CBSE Board Exams in 2 terms from the academic session of 2021-22. CBSE Term 1 Board Exams were conducted in November and December. Even though the exam schedule for the class 10 and 12 Term 2 exams are yet to be released, it’s most likely to happen in April and May. 

Earlier, due to the COVID pandemic, the Education Minister announced the decision to reduce the Class 10 and Class 12 CBSE Syllabus along with Class 9 and 11 by 30% for the last academic session. CBSE took suggestions from the NCERT regarding this. The reduced syllabus, however, was only effective for the academic session of 2020-21.
