Is the exam in 2021 going to be in online mode or offline mode?
5th Dec, 2020
Hii,
Please mentioned clearly which exams you want to know..
Since 2020 is ending and 2021 will be coming with lots of new hope.
And vaccine are also going to be available shortly across the country.
So, the chances for exams in the year 2021 is most probably only in offline mode.
However it will be online if the condition of covid 19 not improve.
It basically more depends upon the authorities and officials of the particular exams..
So, lets hope for the best
