HOW ARE CLASS 12 STUDENTS BEING ASSESSED THIS YEAR?
The board, along with CISCE (Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations), had cancelled the Class 12 examinations due to the second wave of COVID-19. The assessment this time took into account the Class 12 internals as well as the performance of the students in Classes 10 and 11.
Class 10: 30 percent of 70 marks (21) would come from marks obtained by students in CBSE Class 10 board exams. This includes the “theory component of best three performing subjects out of five main subjects".
Class 11: Another 30 percent of 70 (21) marks are based on marks scored by students in the theory component of the final exam of Class 11.
Class 12: The remaining 40 percent of 70 marks (28) are based on unit tests, mid-term exams, and pre-board exams held in Class 12.
An optional exam will also be conducted for Class 12 students, the board has informed. Those who are unhappy with the CBSE’s alternative assessment scheme or their results, will have the option to take it.
Meanwhile, CBSE exams for private candidates of Classes 10 and 12 will be conducted from 16 August to 15 September.
On 21 July, the CBSE had extended the deadline for schools to submit marks for Class 12 till 25 July 2021. Earlier, the schools had been asked to submit the same by 22 July.
In 2020, a total of 88.78 percent of students were reported to have passed, an increase of 5.38 percent from 2019.
