The examination was earlier scheduled on 15th April 2020 but now it has been postponed and the further new dates of the examination would be declared after the CBSE boards have declared the dates for the remaining boards examinations. It would be done so as to avoid the clash between the dates of the examination in the country as well as the preparation of the students should not be wasted.
