CBSE Cancelled Board Exams! Know about Assessment Scheme, Optional Exam and Result Date

Published 3 years ago

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has decided to drop the plan to conduct board examinations for classes X and XII which were scheduled from 1st July to 15th July 2020. The decision was taken keeping in view the requests received from various State Governments and the changed circumstances due to increased spread of COVID-19 throughout the country. The assessment of the performance of students in the cancelled examinations will be done based on the assessment scheme mentioned below for declaration of result for both Class X and Class XII. 

Optional Examination

Class 12: The board will conduct an optional examination in the subjects whose examinations were scheduled to be conducted from 1st July to 15th July 2020 as soon as conditions are conducive, as assessed and decided by the Central Government. Candidates whose results will be declared based on the assessment scheme will be allowed to appear in these optional examinations to improve their performance if they wish so. However, the marks obtained by a candidate in these optional examinations will be treated as final for those who have opted to take these examinations.

Class 10: No further examinations will be conducted and the result declared by CBSE on the basis of the assessment scheme will be treated as final.

Assessment Scheme

• For the students of both classes-X and XII, who have completed all their examinations, their results will be declared based on their performance in the examinations.
• For students who have appeared in the examinations in more than 3 subjects, the average of the marks obtained in the best three performing subjects will be awarded in the subjects whose examinations have not been conducted.
• For students who have appeared in the examinations in only 3 subjects, the average of the marks obtained in the best two performing subjects will be awarded in the subjects whose examinations have not been conducted.
• There are very few students of class-XII, mainly from Delhi, who have appeared in the examinations in only 1 or 2 subjects. Their results will be declared based on performance in the appeared subjects and performance in internal/practical/project assessment. These students will also be allowed to appear in the optional examinations conducted by CBSE to improve their performance if they desire to do so. Result of these students will also be declared along with other students.

Result

The results based upon the assessment scheme will be declared by 15th July 2020 so that candidates can apply and seek admissions in Higher Education Institutions in India and abroad, based thereon. The results declared by the CBSE for Class 12 under the assessment scheme will be considered as final unless the students decide to go for the optional examination.
