The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) released its 'objective criterion' on the basis of which the students of Class 10 will be assessed.
Due to the ongoing second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, the CBSE Class 12 Board exams have been postponed whereas Class 10 Board exams have been cancelled. Meanwhile, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) released its 'objective criterion' on the basis of which now the students of Class 10 will be assessed.
Around 21.5 lakh Class 10 students will be subject to this system of assessment. The assessment will be divided into four categories.
New exam dates for CBSE 12th board exams 2021 are expected to be announced on or after June 1 once CBSE assesses the COVID-19 situation in the country.
Assessment divided into four categories
20 marks will be based on Internal Assessment which has already been conducted by most schools with marks already uploaded.
10 marks for Periodic/Unit Test.
30 for Half Yearly/Mid-Term Examinations.
40 marks for Pre-Board Examinations.
Result Committees to be formed
"There are some schools where one or more of the above three categories of tests/exams have not been conducted. Further, there may be differences in terms of the mode of examination i.e., Online/Offline. Also, it is possible that some of the students may not have appeared in any or some of the examinations conducted by schools," the Board said.
In cases where all the above-mentioned tests have not been conducted or where students have not appeared for the assessment, the CBSE will form 'Result Committees' in every school.
'Result Committees' will comprise the principal, five teachers from mathematics, social sciences, science and two languages, and two teachers from neighbouring schools as external members.
It has been left to these committees to draw up a criterion of 80 marks through a 'rationale document' in cases where all tests have not been conducted or where students have not appeared for the assessment.
Compartment exams
If a student is still not able to meet the criterion after grace marks, he/she has to sit for the compartment exams. The compartment exam will be held by the school as an objective type online or offline exam based on sample question papers provided by the CBSE, and not as a centralized exam as is usually held. The child may be allowed to continue in class XI till the compartment results are released.
Optional CBSE 10th board exams
In the official notification, CBSE has also pointed out that students who are not happy with their result can appear for optional CBSE 10th board exams 2021 later. These optional exams will be conducted when the COVID-19 situation in the country gets better.
Important dates
The result committees are to be formed by May 5.
The schools' 'rationale document’ have to be finalized by May 10.
The finalization of results by schools is to be done by May 25.
The marks have to be submitted to CBSE by June 5.
The date for the declaration of the result has been finalized as of June 20.
