CBSE board exams: SC approves assessment scheme submitted by board; result likely by July 15

The Supreme Court, on Monday, approved the assessment scheme submitted by CBSE in the court about remaining board exams, after which the students can expect the result by mid-July. The board will prepare result for pending subjects on the basis of exams that have already been conducted and internal assessment performance. The board exam results will be announced by mid-July.

The latest development means that CBSE will not be hosting class 10 and class 12 board examinations for remaining papers and may allow students to appear for the exam at a later date when the situation is conducive. Solicitor General Tushar Mehta told the court that it was a pro-students measure.

The petitioner's lawyer sought a clarification on the timeline of by when students can opt for the remaining papers. The court said that when CBSE notifies exam dates, it can give students ample time to decide if they wish to appear for the exams or not.

CBSE submitted the scheme for evaluation of remaining class 10 and class 12 subjects which was approved by the Supreme Court. The new scheme states that students who sat for all their examinations in class 10 and 12 will have their final result declared based on their performance in the exam.

In case the students had appeared in more than three subjects, the average of the marks obtained in best of three performing subjects will be awarded for subjects for which exam could not be held. For students who could appear for exam in only three subjects, the average of marks obtained in two best performing subjects will be awarded.

The Council for Indian School Certificate Examination (CISCE) told the court that it can also come up with an averaging formula for remaining subjects and will upload the same on its website in a week.
