    The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has released the CBSE date sheet 2020 for resheduled examinations for Class 10 in North-East Delhi and for Class 12 at all locations.

    The board has released the CBSE date sheet 2020 where the examinations will be held between July 1-15, 2020.

    Exams in a few subjects had been postponed due to the coronavirus outbreak. Hence, the human resource development ministry (MHRD) had asked the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) to conduct board examinations only for 29 main subjects.

    For regular students, exams for all subjects in CBSE Class X 2020 were completed. But North-East Delhi had witnessed violence in February 2020 that led to a few subject exams being postponed.

    Human resource development minister Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank announced the new dates on social media.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How does a vaccine work?

    A vaccine works by mimicking a natural infection. A vaccine not only induces immune response to protect people from any future COVID-19 infection, but also helps quickly build herd immunity to put an end to the pandemic. Herd immunity occurs when a sufficient percentage of a population becomes immune to a disease, making the spread of disease from person to person unlikely. The good news is that SARS-CoV-2 virus has been fairly stable, which increases the viability of a vaccine.

    How many types of vaccines are there?

    There are broadly four types of vaccine — one, a vaccine based on the whole virus (this could be either inactivated, or an attenuated [weakened] virus vaccine); two, a non-replicating viral vector vaccine that uses a benign virus as vector that carries the antigen of SARS-CoV; three, nucleic-acid vaccines that have genetic material like DNA and RNA of antigens like spike protein given to a person, helping human cells decode genetic material and produce the vaccine; and four, protein subunit vaccine wherein the recombinant proteins of SARS-COV-2 along with an adjuvant (booster) is given as a vaccine.

    What does it take to develop a vaccine of this kind?

    Vaccine development is a long, complex process. Unlike drugs that are given to people with a diseased, vaccines are given to healthy people and also vulnerable sections such as children, pregnant women and the elderly. So rigorous tests are compulsory. History says that the fastest time it took to develop a vaccine is five years, but it usually takes double or sometimes triple that time.

    The HRD minister Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank said that students will have to carry hand sanitisers and wear masks to cover the nose and mouth at the test centres.

    Candidates also have to follow social-distancing norms across the examination centres. Detailed guidelines of the same will be available to candidates. Parents have been given the responsibility to ensure that their child is not sick.

    As far as CBSE schools in foreign countries are concerned, the board said that no other subject examination will be held for Class X and XII due to the inability to get papers to India for evaluation. The procedure for assessment and declaring results in these cases will be notified later to these schools.
