New Delhi: CBSE Class 12 students unable to appear in the Hindi exam scheduled March 15 on account of Holi will get another opportunity to write the paper, the board announced Thursday.
“It has been informed to CBSE that, though the festival of Holi would be celebrated March 14 in most parts of the country, in few places, either the celebrations would take place March 15 or celebrations would spill over to March 15,” CBSE Examination Controller Sanyam Bhardwaj.
He said that after the feedback, it has been decided that while the examination would be held as per schedule, the students who find it difficult to appear February 15 may choose to write the paper on a later date.
“It has been decided that such students would be allowed to appear along with those students for whom a special examination is conducted as per the policy of the board for students participating in national or international sports events,” he added.
