Chennai: Tamilnadu School Education Minister K A Sengottaiyan today said his department will release the timetable for class 10 public examinations in the month of June.

Last week, officials said the Union HRD Ministry was prepared to conduct the pending board examinations for classes 10 and 12 for 29 crucial subjects at the first possibility.
The Ministry has also directed States to start the evaluation process for the exams already conducted and facilitate the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) in evaluation of answer sheets.
“We are prepared to conduct board exams for class 10 and 12 pending due to lockdown in wake of the COVID-19 situation in the country. The exams will be conducted for 29 subjects crucial for promotion and admissions to undergraduate courses, at the first possibility. The students will be given at least 10-days notice before exams are conducted,” a senior official said.
