April 29, said a CBSE official.
"Examinees who will appear in online examination will be
given a concession of Rs 150 to Rs 300 in examination fees,"
the official said.
To acquaint the candidates wishing to appear in the
cities notified for online examination, a mock test software
will also be uploaded on the CBSE website in December for the
purpose of practice, he said.
Cities holding the examination in the online format
include Hyderabad, Trivandrum, Noida, Bhopal, Kolkata,
Vishakhapatnam, Mumbai, Allahabad, Delhi/NCR except Faridabad,
Jaipur, Chennai, Bangaluru and Lucknow.

be sold, said a statement.
The fee will be accepted through credit or debit cards or
through demand drafts.
To facilitate the students for filling online
applications, a facilitation centre will be opened in the
