CBSE Plans Fresh Class 12 Exams for West Asia Students
CBSE had to cancel some Class 12 exams in seven West Asian countries because of war.
The cancelled exams covered 40 subjects.
CBSE created a special way to calculate students’ results.
Regular students received those results on May 13.
Private candidates later received results under the same plan.
Students who are unhappy with their marks can now take the cancelled exams again.
They can choose which subjects to take, and they will not have to pay an exam fee.
