The Maharashtra education department, in an effort to help the students of standard 10^th and 12^th to do better their board examinations has decided to start an online guidance series.

Moreover, from Monday, February 2, the Maharashtra State Council of Educational Research and Training (MSCERT) has begun live-streaming lectures of expert teachers on its YouTube channel. In addition, teachers will conduct guidance sessions and live doubt solving sessions as part of the initiative.

Tweeting about the same, State education minister Varsha Gaikwad stated, “Students will be guided in each of the subjects, and they will also get to get their doubts cleared from experts,”

On the other hand, in a massive development, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has informed that if a student fails in any one of the three elective subjects, Science, Mathematics and Social Science, then the failed subject will be replaced by the 'Skill Subject (offered as a 6th additional subject).

According to the new rules, CBSE students will no longer fail the 10th CBSE Board Examinations. This decision has been taken by the board. This means that if the student gets good marks in the skill subject then it will be replaced with the failed subject. After this, their percentage will be calculated on the basis of five subjects. According to sources, this initiative of CBSE has been reportedly welcomed by the parents, students and teachers.

Earlier on December 31, Union Education Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal ‘Nishank’ announced that the upcoming CBSE examinations in India will be held between May 4 and June 10, 2021. Moreover, Pokhriyal asked the students to check the official CBSE website cbse.nic.in for final 2021 date sheets for both theoretical and practical board examinations.
