Amid this important time for students, on Friday, Union Minister of Education Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank held an interactive session with students to clear their issues regarding the CBSE exam results. As candidates are waiting for their Board Exams Results, through a recorded message, the Education Minister shared that the CBSE optional exams may be conducted in August or any other later date. The decision will be taken after looking at the situation amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank assured that the students would be allowed to write and improve their scores in case they are not happy with the result.

On June 22, the Supreme Court in its order has dismissed the number of petitions challenging the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) and Indian Certificate of Secondary Education (ICSE) decision to cancel Class 12 examinations and also gave a go-ahead to the assessment scheme brought out by the Boards to evaluate the students' examination pattern.

On June 17, Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank welcomed the Supreme Court's in-principle approval of the assessment of the final marks of Class 12 students whose Board exams were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

"Thanks to the Supreme Court of India for recommending the policy and procedure of CBSE to prepare the results of class XII students! This policy has been adopted by CBSE after extensive consultation with all the stakeholders, which is in the interest of the students," Pokhriyal said.

The minister said that students who are not satisfied with their results under this process will be given an opportunity to appear in the examination to be conducted by Boards when the situation becomes conducive.

Earlier, the Central Board of Secondary Examination (CBSE) submitted its evaluation criteria for awarding grades/marks for Class 12 exams before Supreme Court. The Board said it will evaluate class 12 students for theory based on 30 percent marks from class 10 board, 30 percent from class 11 and 40 percent from marks based on the performance in the unit, the midterm, and pre-board tests. CBSE said that marks obtained by class 12 students in practical and internal assessment on an actual basis as uploaded by schools on CBSE Portal will be also considered in deciding final results
