As per an earlier notification issued by the CBSE, the practical/project/internal assessments for the students of classes 10 and 12 are to begin on March 1 and go on till the last date of the theory examinations of the respective classes.

Usually, practical exams are conducted in January, while written exams begin in February and conclude in March. However, the exams are being delayed this session in view of the COVID-19 pandemic.

"The board exams for class 10 and 12 will be conducted from May 4 to June 10. Schools will be allowed to conduct practical exams from March 1. Date sheet for both the classes will be issued soon. The results will be declared by July 15," Pokhriyal had announced in December last year. 

The CBSE had earlier this month announced that board exams in 2021 will be conducted in written mode and not online. In 2020, the exams and the results were all postponed due to the restrictions in place due to the pandemic.
