“Syllabus for 10+2 classes exams reduced to 70 % for JKUT. This also applies for 10th class syllabus for exams, Asgar Hassan Samoon, Principal Secretary; School Education and Skill Development, Jammu and Kashmir, said on social media.
The Central Board of Secondary Education, or CBSE, had previously reduced school syllabi by 30%, considering the “extraordinary situation” of COVID-19 pandemic.

The council of Higher Secondary Education, Odisha, or CHSE, is also planning to reduce school curriculum for 2020-2021.
