“Join the session live on my Twitter/ FB pages, for username: @DrRPNishank. Looking forward to the interaction!” the Minister added.

Before this webinar, the Education Minister went live to declare the CBSE exam dates, and JEE Main dates. Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) examinations have been scheduled between May 4 and June 10. Considering the hardships students had to face during the COVID-19 induced lockdown and coping with the online mode of learning, the board has made several changes in favour of the students. Reduction in the CBSE syllabus, changes in exam pattern and marking scheme are some of the changes made for the CBSE students. CBSE is likely to release the upcoming exam date sheets for the 2021 board exams soon at cbse.nic.in.
