CBSE class 12 board exams 2021 have grabbed national headlines. Every day, there are innumerable reports on the way examinations could be conducted and about the possible CBSE Class 12th timetable. The Ministry of Education has clarified that all such reports are baseless and speculative. The official PIB handle of the Ministry of Education has endorsed a tweet by Maushumi, a civil servant, that says “This is totally incorrect and absolutely baseless - such irresponsible reportage creates unnecessary panic amongst students and parents.”
The tweet was in reference to a report that said CBSE class 12th timetable could be announced on 1 June 2021. As of now, no decision has been taken on the CBSE class 12 board exams 2021, and the Government of India has asked states to submit reports and suggestions on the conduct of examinations. The states are divided on the matter, and a consensus is yet to be reached.

“The discussions were held around two themes, which is board exams to be conducted for Class XII by the Central Board of Secondary Education and other State Boards and the All-India Entrance examinations for various higher education institutions and professional courses.
