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