Delhi's Directorate of Education on Wednesday issued guidelines instructing schools not to conduct offline examinations for students of classes 3 to 8 for the Academic Session 2020-2021. The guidelines also said the assessment would be on the basis of worksheets and assignments.
The guidelines of DoE have been issued to the government-run and aided schools for assessment for the 2020-21 academic session, during which schools were closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic and all teaching and learning activities were conducted online.
"Since no classroom teaching-learning has taken place at the primary and middle level, formal mode of pen and paper assessment is replaced by assessment based on subject wise assignment/projects for class 3 to class 8 for all government and government-aided schools," read the order.

"All current students of Nursery to Std II shall be promoted to the next class in academic session 2021-22.
