New Delhi

Also, the exams will be completed in 30 days. Whereas, the board exams usually begin in March and end by mid of April.

"This would advance the date of declaration of results, which comes around the fourth week of May. Also, In the month of April, due to the vacations the experienced teachers are not available. Therefore, advancing evaluation to mid-March will ensure the experienced teachers checking the answer scripts,"
