"There won’t be any change in the schedule of pre-board examination. We have decided to conduct a pre-board exam each month till May so that students start preparing for CBSE Exams 2021 from now itself. This is to avoid last minute preparations,” TOI quoted the principal of a Hyderabad school as saying.  

He said the schools now have enough time to prepare students for both practical and board examinations.
