"Considering request of Delhi government and to avoid inconvenience to students, staff and parents, the board has decided to postpone the exam for class 12 in North East Part of Delhi," PTI quoted CBSE secretary Anurag Tripathi as saying. "However, the exam in rest of the Delhi shall be conducted as per schedule. The next date of exam for affected students will be notified shortly," the official said.
For students who live in violence-affected areas but have examination centres elsewhere, their school principals will have to approach the CBSE asking for specific relief for these students, Tripathi told The Hindu.
