Kerala will conduct the remaining Class 10 and Class 12 examinations from May 26 to 30.
The examinations were postponed because of the COVID-19 crisis.
Here is the Kerala Class 10 (SSLC) examination schedule. These tests will be held in the afternoon.
May 26: Mathematics
May 28: Physics
May 29: Chemistry
The Higher Secondary exams will be held from May 26 to May 30. The examinations will be conducted both in the forenoon and afternoon sessions.
The dates were decided at the cabinet meeting held in Thiruvananthapuram on Wednesday.
Bus tariff hike
The cabinet has also given its in-principle nod to hike bus tariff in Kerala.
Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan had hinted at the hike during his daily COVID-19 press briefing on May 12.
He had said the bus owners would be allowed to hike the rates to compensate for the fall in passengers necessitated by social distancing norms. Buses will be able to seat only one person in a space meant for two and only two in a space meant for three. However, a decision on fuel subsidy for bus owners is still pending.
Increase in liquor price
The Cabinet has also decided to further hike liquor price. Sources said the price hike would range from 10 per cent in the case of wine and beer to 35 per cent in the case of premium liquor brands. Steps are on to begin liquor sales after the third phase of lockdown ends on May 17.
However, the dangerous crowds in front of toddy shops after they resumed operations on May 13 could force the government to issue strict guidelines.
