Sharma said that the exam schedule was prepared keeping in view the Kumbh Mela to be held between January 15 and March 4, 2019 on the banks of the Sangam in Allahabad. The short duration of exams would not only relieve examinees of strain of a long-drawn schedule, but also help the Board save time and funds, added Sharma.

“The exam schedule got reduced to 16 days as there will be one paper for one subject now. Introduction of NCERT pattern with one paper for English, one for Hindi, one for Mathematics and one for science paper has helped reduce the number of days,” said Sharma.

The papers were clubbed to establish uniformity with other educational boards of the country, Sharma said. In 2018, High School and Intermediate exams began on February 6. The former concluded on February 22 and the latter on March 12.
