As of now, the new criteria for assessment will be released by CBSE and CISCE for the 12th board result. The government said that it will be a “well-defined”, “objective” method that will ensure timely results.
According to reports, CISCE and CBSE schools will submit data of class 12 student’s performance in classes 11, 10, and 9. Therefore, expectations have been made that Class 12th marks would be calculated on the basis of performance in internals and past three-year performance of students. However, the final decision is yet to be announced.
In the high-profile meeting, it was also decided that if any students want to appear for the exam, an option would be provided to them by CBSE, as and when the COVID-19 situation becomes normal.
