JR Mehrok, controller (examination), PSEB, informed that students can check detailed fresh date-sheets for pending examinations on the board website, pseb.ac.in. Exams for class 10 and 12 will be held at the external centres as allotted earlier. He added that a revised date sheet for pending practical exams will be announced later as the situation unfolds.
