CBSE has decided to hold exams for Skill Education (Vocational) and related subjects in the second half of February for the ensuing Board exams of Classes 10 and 12 to be held in 2019.
The Department of School Education will use advanced technology from next year's CBSE examinations to check incidents of question paper leak, Union School Education Secretary Anil Swarup had earlier.
The CBSE had come under attack after the economics paper of the Class 12 board exams was leaked in March, affecting lakhs of students, and a re-examination was ordered.
"The Secretary of Education has appointed a committee to explore how technology can be used to prevent any recurrence of such a situation," Swarup said.
He asserted that no CBSE official was involved in the leak scandal and that it was perpetrated by a handful of tech-savvy people.
