Class X, XII Students Who Lost Parents Due To Covid Won't Have To Pay Exam Fee, Announces CBSE
The process of collecting fees and finalising the list of candidates for the upcoming Class 10 and 12 board examinations is currently underway in CBSE affiliated schools across the country.
Due to the Covid-19 induced pandemic, many people lost their loved ones, especially during the second wave. Many children also lost both their parents due to Covid and were left orphaned.
In lieu of that, The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has decided to waive off examination fees or registration fees for the students who have lost both parents due to COVID-19.

¡°The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the country adversely and keeping in view of its impact on students, CBSE, as a special measure for Academic Session 2021-22, has decided that neither the examination fees nor the registration fees will be charged by the Board from the student(s) who have lost both parents or surviving parent or legal guardian/adoptive parents due to COVID-19 pandemic,¡± read the official notice.
