From 7 July this year, schools for Classes 6 to 12 have reopened in the state in a staggered manner keeping in mind the coronavirus restrictions. Currently, attendance has not been made compulsory while online classes are still continuing. However, the government has restricted school attendance to 50 percent (in-person). The first test for students for classes 6 to 12 will be based on the syllabus covered between June and September. Last year, due to the pandemic and lockdown in the country, most of the school students were given mass promotion. The results for the awaiting students were evaluated on a merit-based progression formula, which was set by GSHSEB and its team. Further, the preliminary exams for Classes 10 and 12 will be conducted from 27 January to 4 February, 2022. Later, the annual exams for classes 9 and 11 will be held from 11 to 21 April, 2022. The exam pattern for this year (2021-2022) will be the same as last year (2019-2020). Reports suggest that question papers for the first, second, and third-unit tests will be arranged by GSHSEB for classes 9 and 10. These unit tests will be taken up for various subjects including science, maths, social studies, and Gujarati.
