How will I be marked?
The results will be compiled as per “well-defined objective criteria”, the Centre has said, in a press release. However, a detailed criteria is expected to be released by the Board.

But what if I want to take the exams?
If a student wants to appear for the examination, the CBSE will provide an option once the situation is “conducive”.
What does ‘conducive’ mean? Who decides when the situation is conducive to conduct exams?
The term ‘conducive’ means making a certain situation or outcome likely or possible. In this context, it means when the situation is suitable to conduct exams, in the light of COVID-19 pandemic.
The Ministry of Human Resource Development, under the central government, will decide when the situation is “conducive” to conduct exams.
