In April this year, the state government had announced that all first year students were being promoted to the second year due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

It said that preference for deputing examination personnel will be for those who have been fully vaccinated at Covid-19 , and all Covid-19 safety protocols will be followed at every examination centre.

Each centre will have two isolation rooms where students with any symptom can be accommodated to write their exams. The board said that the Ethics & Human Values, and Environmental Education exams were already conducted as Home Assignments earlier this April.
