CBSE 10th, 12th Exams 2020 Postponed: The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) Tuesday postponed the Class 10th and Class 12th exams in the riot affected areas of North-East Delhi.

"On the request of Directorate of Education, Government of Delhi and to avoid inconvenience to students, staffs and parents, the Board has decided to postpone Class 10 and 12 exams scheduled for February 26 in North- East part of Delhi," the CBSE said in an official statement.

In response to this, the CBSE said it would take a call in few hours.

The Class 10th exam on Feb 26 was English Communicative (101) and English Language and Literature (184). The Class 12th board exam on Feb 26 which is now postponed was Web Application - Old (796), Web Application - New (803) and Media (821).

"The next date of exams for the affected students will be announced shortly", the CBSE said.
