CBSE Exam Results 2021: After much anticipation, CBSE Class 12 Board results were declared on Friday at 2 pm. This is an unprecedented year as students could not appear for the Board exams due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

This year, the CBSE 12th results have been prepared in an alternative way. Since no exams were conducted, the Board adopted an alternative assessment scheme to finalise the results. Close to 15 lakh students enroll for CBSE class 12 board exams every year.

Usually, the CBSE Board exams are conducted in March every year and the results are declared by May month. However, this year is the pandemic year so the process is already delayed by two months. This will affect the admission process in the colleges and the sessions are already running late.
