The Class 10 Board exams were cancelled by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) and students will be promoted to the next class based on a special criterion. As the Board announced this decision, students were left with some questions on the allotment of marks. CBSE class 10 students want to know how they will be promoted and what evaluation criteria will be laid down by the board to allot them marks.
The CBSE claims that this would be “an objective” criterion and the details on what the exact criterion will be are not yet shared by the Board. However, Union Education Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal said that class 10 students will pass based on “internal assessment”.
“Any candidate who is not satisfied with the marks allocated to him/her on this basis will be given an opportunity to sit in an exam as and when the conditions are conducive to hold the exams,” Pokhriyal said.
In 2020, when some of the CBSE Board papers were held during the pandemic and many were cancelled, a similar pattern was followed for allotting marks to students. Students who appeared for three or more papers were given marks based on the average of the highest marks obtained in any three subjects they have appeared for. While, the students who appeared for only two exams, the average of the two highest-scoring exams were considered while marking them for the paper which could not be held.
The result for these students was also calculated based on performance in internal or practical or project-based assessment, especially for those who appeared for less than two papers.
