Students will be given one multi-choice question paper for mathematics, science and social science and one more question paper for languages. "The multi-choice question paper for 40 marks will be easy and straight and there will not be any indirect questions," the minister added. The Union government said the decision on the CBSE exam cancellation was taken keeping in mind the health and safety of the students. After the government's decision, the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE) also decided to cancel its class 12 board examinations this year. On 14 April, the Central government had decided to cancel class 10 board exams.
