New Delhi: Board examinations for classes X and XII conducted by the CBSE for which over 28 lakh candidates have registered began today, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi wishing them luck.

"Best of luck to all my young friends appearing for the CBSE class XII and class X examinations! Write these exams with a smile and lots of confidence," he said on Twitter.
