The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) will conduct the remaining exams for Class XII in the first two weeks of July, HRD Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal announced on Friday.

The government, sources said, has decided that Class XII board exams should finish before JEE (Main) is conducted. The entrance test for admission to NITs will be held over five days between July 18 and 23. CBSE has been asked to wrap up its remaining papers before that. The Board will announce the detailed schedule for each paper in the next few days.

On April 1, CBSE had said that it will conduct exams for 29 subjects out of the approximately 90 that were left around the time the nationwide lockdown was imposed. For Class X, only exams for students of north-east Delhi, who could not appear for the examination due to the riots, will be held.
