New Delhi: The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) on Wednesday announced relaxation for the children of military and paramilitary forces personnel and also of those who are martyred while on duty for appearing in class 10 and class 12 examinations this year.

“Students appearing in class 10 and class 12 examinations, who want to change their examination centre in the same city, would be allowed to do so,” read an official notification on CBSE official website.

These class 10 and class 12 students will also be allowed to change the exam centre to another city if they wish so.

“If they have missed their practical examination, the same would be conducted as per their convenience by April 10 by their school. If they wish to appear in any offered subject later, they will be permitted to do so,” news agency PTI quoted Sanyam Bhardwaj, CBSE’s Controller of Examinations as saying.

“Such candidates may send their request to schools and schools will further send their request to the concerned regional office for needful action by CBSE,” Bhardwaj added.

If students wish to appear in the examination in any offered subject later, they will be allowed to do so. The last date to submit such requests to the concerned Regional office is February 28, 2019.

The Central education board’s announcement for the relaxation came in the wake of the recent terror attack which took place in Pulwama district of Jammu and Kashmir where 42 CRPF soldiers were killed.

Notably, the CBSE board examinations for Class 12 started on February 15. While the exams are being held currently for the vocational subjects, the examinations for main papers are scheduled to take place from March 2.

On the other hand, the Class 10 board examinations will kick-off from tomorrow i.e. February 21 for Vocational papers and the main papers will begin on March 5.
