Nagpur: CBSE has extended the date for submitting board exam forms and/or making corrections, specifically for private candidates. Though the earlier deadline was for November, the online portal is being opened up again till December 14 with some riders.
Looking into requests made by the candidates, as one time measure, the link for submission/correction in the private candidate’s data and filling of private candidates examination form is being opened.
Though candidates can make the correction online in all fields, there is one catch. Candidates will be able to apply only for subjects which are auto-generated in the system.
Those who have passed board exams already, too, can apply for an additional subject, from the eligible subject list. However. this applies only to those students who have passed the board exam within the last six years. So, candidates who passed in 2015 and later are eligible to apply. However, nobody can apply for a subject which involves practical work
CBSE has also made it clear that though the online portal is being reopened, fresh applications can be made only after paying late fees.
All candidates will get new roll numbers for appearing in 2021. In no case will candidates will be allowed to appear with the previous year’s roll number, a statement from CBSE said.
The board has also advised candidates to make online payment using “own account/debit/credit card or any of your parent/sibling’s account/debit/credit card”. This suggestion has been made so that in the event of any refund, the same reaches the candidate and not anybody else.
Before logging in, candidates must keep ready scanned copies of their photograph and signature. Both images must only be in .JPG format and size must not exceed 40KB.
