CBSE said that majority of the Government schools as well as the private independent schools had urged for the rationalization of the syllabus. These schools said that rationalization of the syllabus is important as they don’t have enough time for organising online classes.

The CBSE said that the academic session has been divided into two terms to increase the probability of having a Board conducted class 10 and class 12 exams at the end of the academic session.
