CBSE, NEET, JEE exams 2021: Big relief for students announced—check education minister Ramesh Pokhriyal message

Union Education Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank has provided big relief to the students of CBSE Class 10, Class 12 boards exams 2021 and those who would be appearing in competitive exams, such as NEET and JEE.  

As CBSE class 10, 12 exams 2021 are fast approaching , the students were apprehensive that they may be asked questions from the syllabus that has been left out as the classes were almost washed-out last year due to covid 19 pandemic. They were also worried that they may asked questions from the overall syllabus in the competitive exams.  
Dispelling all the confusions among the students,  Union Education Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal during his interaction with Kendriya Vidyalaya (KV) students on Modnay said that the students need to prepare for NEET and JEE exams as per revised syllabus. It also goes the same for CBSE exams 2021, he said.

"The students need not worry about the portion that has been chucked out and that students will only have to study the revised syllabus for their CBSE board exams and other exams based on CBSE board syllabus 2021, such as JEE 2021 and NEET. The questions will only be asked from that portion," said Pokhriyal, while replying to a student who asked whether questions will be asked from reduced syllabus of CBSE in competitive exams.  

Speaking on physical classes and reopening of schools, he said that that online classes will remain an option for students who are not able to physically join the school. He stated that physical classes will resume and there will be a 50-50 per cent balance between online classes and attending classes physically. He added that once it is confirmed that it is safe to ask students to attend schools physically only then a decision will be taken to continue online classes.  

Some of the issues raised by students with Pokhriyal:

1. Conduct Class 9th and 11th exams online: The Education Minister decided not to respond directly but said that the CBSE and other boards are aware of the hardships faced by the students this academic session due to COVID-19 and this is the reason why exams are based on the reduced syllabus.  

2. Online school instead of offline classes: Pokhriyal said that online classes will remain an option for students who are not able to physically join the school.  

The Union Education Ministry has already announced that board exams for Classes 10 and 12 will be conducted from May 4 to June 10, even though the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is yet to release an examination date-sheet.  
Over 3 lakh students have registered from the Delhi region for the Class 10 CBSE board exam, while over 2.5 lakh candidates have registered for the Class 12 exam. The Delhi government has suggested that schools conduct pre-board exams for Class 12 from March 20 to April 15 and Class 10 pre-board exams from April 1 to April 15.  

Pokhriyal interacted with the students of Kendriya Vidyalaya to motivate and encourage them to focus on their academics despite the Covid-19 pandemic that has hit the school education. Earlier on various occasions, Union Education Minister interacted with students, teachers, professors, and parents, taking their opinions about how the education sector can go forward with minimum impact on students, post COVID-19 pandemic.
