Even as boards are being held offline, schools are being forced to hold pre-boards online because of a lack of willingness from parents to send kids to school. Lack of infrastructure and privacy issues have also created problems in ensuring surveillance while students attempt the exams from home. At the moment, the key concerns of most schools are that students have little practice of writing in an exam-like situation and that there is no anti-cheating mechanism in place.
The Delhi government—which runs government schools affiliated to the CBSE instead of a state board—had appealed to the Central government that the board exams not be conducted before May 2021 to give students “reasonable time to study in schools”.
The CBSE board exams will be held on a reduced syllabus. 30% of the total syllabus has been cut and some states have also announced a similar move while others are expected to do the same. There will also be 33% internal choices in the exam, Pokhriyal said in his earlier webinar.

Pokhriyal in his last interaction had said that exams can be held anytime after February. Even as there has been a huge demand on Twitter to hold the boards in May, the exams are not expected to be delayed beyond a couple of months.
