"In addition to Concession/Exemptions being extended as contained in circular no CBSE/COORD/112233/2019 Dated 12th April 2019, Board has decided to facilitate such students by permitting use of  Simple Basic Calculator during Class X & Class XII Board's Examinations," the circular said.

"Candidates who will request without appropriate certificate will not be allowed to use calculator during examinations," Dr Bhardwaj said.
