CBSE begins enrolment for Class X, XII private candidates

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has invited private candidates to apply for the Class X and XII board exams 2021. Students can register on cbse.gov.in and enrol their names till 5pm on February 25.

“As per the request received from several candidates of previous years that they were unable to fill their examination form as private candidates for examination 2021, for Classes 10 and 12, CBSE has decided to extend the last opportunity to these candidates to fill their form only online by going to the link on CBSE’s website,” the CBSE statement said.

The CBSE board exams for Classes X and XII will be held between May 4 and June 10. The practical exams and activities including internal assessments and projects will be conducted from March 1.

To apply for Class X and Class XII board exams online, private candidates are advised to follow these instructions:

∙      No further extension will be provided for filling of exam forms

∙      Candidates have to choose the CBSE exam centre cities carefully as no further changes will be permitted

∙      Old practical marks will be taken while computing the final CBSE results. “Pro rata marks” will be awarded to candidates who took the board exams prior to 2020.
