The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) and other educational boards are considering conducting undergraduate (UG) exams in March 2024 due to the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. The elections are likely to be held in April-May 2024, and the boards want to avoid clashing the exams with the polls.
A senior CBSE official said that the board is considering conducting the exams in March so that the results can be declared by the end of April. This will give students ample time to apply for admissions to colleges and universities.
The official also said that the board is in consultation with other educational boards, such as the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE), to ensure that the exams are conducted in a synchronized manner.
The decision to conduct the UG exams in March is likely to be finalized by the end of November.
