The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) term 2 exams are slated to begin April 26 for both classes 10 and 12. While the class 12 exams will begin with entrepreneurship, class 10 will commence with painting.

Aishaani Vaidya
The class 12 topper of 2021, from Army Public School, Noida, Aishaani had scored 499 out of 500. She got a perfect 100 in English, Economics, Computer Science, and Psychology. Mathematics was the only subject in which she lost a mark. Last year, CBSE had canceled the final exams and the results were prepared on the basis of an alternative formula which also include internal exams.
She had to resort to online classes like others. “Online learning has been difficult. However, I don’t think every child had the privilege to do so. We had our teachers by our side who really helped us with our education. If teachers don’t help you with your learning then it becomes all the more difficult,” says Aishaani.
Tushar Singh
Tushar Singh from Delhi Public School, Bulandshahr scored a 500/500 in Class 12 in 2020 in the arts stream. He did not take any tuition.
