Guwahati: The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) announced a one-time exemption of examination and registration fee for those students who lost both their parents to Covid-19.
“The Covid-19 pandemic has impacted the country adversely and keeping in view of its impact on students, CBSE as a special measure for the academic session 2021-22, has decided that neither the examination fees nor the registration fees will be charged by the board from the students who have lost both parents, or surviving parent, or legal guardian/adoptive parents due to the Covid-19 pandemic,” said a circular signed by Controller of Examination Sanyam Bhardwaj.
However, students who have lost one of the parents will not be eligible for the exemption.
The board has directed the CBSE-affiliated schools to submit the details of such students after verifying the cases. Students are required to submit the fee before September 30 – which is the last date for schools to submit their list of Class 10 and 12 candidates to the board. A majority of schools in Delhi are affiliated to CBSE, including the 1,030 Delhi government schools.
