“The Covid situation will be closely monitored and the deferment of the ICSE and ISC 2021 examinations will be reviewed and a final decision on the conduct of the examinations will be taken by the first week of June 2021,” the board said in a statement.
CBSE has already cancelled class 10 exams and postponed class 12 exams.
The decision will come as a relief for over 35 lakh students in the country, considering the nationwide surge in coronavirus cases.
The exams were due to begin on May 4.
