CBSE Class 10, 12 Exam Date Sheet 2020: As the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) released its date sheet for class 10, 12 board exams 2020, students and parents took to Twitter demanding changes in the schedule citing irregularities in allotment of preparatory holidays between important exams. Students allege that while there are too many offs in some subjects, there are too little preparatory holidays between others.

A majority of these requests are from students of the commerce stream. While most demand a change in the CBSE Board 2020 date sheet, some Twitter users have planned a mock date sheet. They recommend that CBSE give a fixed seven-day off between important subjects.

The Board is yet to react to any of these demands. CBSE, however, informed that this academic year, over 30,000 combination subjects have been opted for by students from both class 10 and 12 students.

CBSE also stated that it has taken care that “students get sufficient time between the examination of main subjects” along with “Delhi University admission schedule” and “distribution of students in such a way that a large number of candidates do not reach any examination centre on any particular date” while preparing the date sheet.

The police said that Kumar, a resident of Turbhe MIDC in Navi Mumbai, was driving his concrete mixer truck when it collided with an SUV.
