The final report would be submitted and presented to the public and to the Supreme Court by June 16, 2021.

According to a report by The Indian Express, sources in the Education Ministry informed that the 12-member expert committee set up by the CBSE discussed this option at a meeting held on Saturday. The ministry official on the condition of anonymity said, "The broad consensus was to factor in marks scored in the Class 10 Boards, Class 11 (annual) exam, and Class 12 pre-Boards. There were differences about the exact weightage to be given to each component. That final decision will be taken by CBSE."

Following this decision of the cancellation of the CBSE Class 12 Board Exam 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the CBSE was asked by the Supreme Court to devise an alternative assessment scheme in two weeks.

The government sources also informed that to favour objective reflection of the marks, the expert committee members considered using Class 10 marks during the meeting on Saturday. The performance of Class 11 and Class 12 pre-boards will also be taken into account.
