Pokhriyal, in his last webinar had clarified that the Board examinations may get delayed if the COVID-19 pandemic spread is not brought under control. He had also hinted that there could be an alternative to the practical examinations format as almost all schools have remained closed during the pandemic outbreak. He had also mentioned that the question paper format might see several changes in terms of difficulty as well as format - the questions could be more application based and consist of more MCQs and objective type questions.
He had also assured that the students will get ample time to prepare and the exam dates will be announced well in advance.
