For this year's 11th admission, the CET exam will be taken on the basis of 10th syllabus.  As various examination boards are considering the internal assessment at school level for this year's Class X results, optional CET examinations will be conducted for Class XI admission with a view to maintaining uniformity and equal opportunity for all students.

The CET exam is optional and students who take the CET will be given preference in the 11th admission, the school education department said. The exams will be held two weeks after the 10th results, at the end of July or the first week of August, the education department said. However, the timeline has not been clarified yet. The examination will be conducted by the State Examination Council under the supervision of the Commissioner of Education. The duration of the examination is two hours.
