The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) today has submitted before the Supreme Court its evaluation criteria for awarding grades or marks for Class 12 examinations. Previously, Supreme Court had on June 3 given two weeks time to the CBSE to place on record an evaluation formula for 12th students.
As per the ANI reports, the board has declared they will be decided based upon the performance in Class 10, Class 11 as well as Class 12. While 30 per cent weightage will be given to students’ performance in Class 10 and 11, their class 12 performance will carry a weightage of 40 per cent. For Class 12, marks obtained in unit, term and practical examinations will be taken into account.
In an interview with ANI, Attorney General KK Venugopal has quoted that the court that there may be a moderation committee to look into the difference in marking mechanism adopted by various schools to put all students as far as the awarding of final marks for Class 12 is concerned on a par. He also said that the result will be declared by July 31. CBSE also informed the leading daily that Classes 10 and 11, marks in best of 3 from 5 papers in term exams will be considered.
CBSC class 12 had been cancelled by the government on June 1 due to the rise in Covid-19 cases across India.
