The Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE) will conduct pending Class X and XII examination from July 1 to 14, it announced on Friday.

The exams were postponed in view of the nationwide lockdown imposed to contain the spread of COVID-19.

“While the exams for Class XII students will be held from July 2 to 12, Class X students will appear for exams from July 1 to 14. It will be mandatory for candidates to carry their sanitiser bottles and wear masks while gloves will be optional,” said Gerry Arathoon, Chief Executive and Secretary, CISCE.

The schools have also been asked to ensure candidates’ entry and exit in a staggered manner to ensure social distancing norms are followed at examination centres. PTI

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
