Central Board Of Secondary Education (CBSE)

CBSE may decide on Board exams


CBSE is deliberating on options, including granting of marks based on the average score of papers in which the candidate has already appeared; making it optional for students to appear in the exams and evaluating them on the basis of internal assessment; or rescheduling the papers for September-October.

NEW DELHI: There is a likelihood of CBSE cancelling the pending board examinations, scheduled to be held from July 1, in view of the rising number of Covid-19 infections across India.

CBSE is deliberating on options, including granting of marks based on the average score of papers in which the candidate has already appeared; making it optional for students to appear in the exams and evaluating them on the basis of internal assessment; or rescheduling the papers for September-October.

There has been growing pressure from parents and state governments like Maharashtra and New Delhi on CBSE to cancel the exams. Hearing a petition from some parents, the SC had on Wednesday asked the board to consider the prevailing pandemic situation and decide by next week on whether the papers could be scrapped.

According to a senior HRD official, “No decisions have been reached so far. However, by June 23 CBSE will be ready with further instructions as asked by the SC. There are two things that have emerged – a few states are unwilling to conduct the exams due to the increasing cases of the viral infection and within the Board the general opinion is that it doesn’t make much of a sense of delaying the exams to September or October.”

The CBSE (Central Board Of Secondary Education) may allow Class 12 students to graduate early under a special marking scheme, but offer them the option to take the Board exams at a later date to improve their performance.

In other words, CBSE may not hold the Board exams in July and, instead, come up with an alternate method of evaluation. Students who are dissatisfied with their results can opt for the pen-and-paper exam to be conducted by the Board later in the year.

The Board was forced to decide on the feasibility of holding exams in July after parents approached the Supreme Court pleading for the Board to scrap the exams. CBSE has time till Tuesday to respond to the plea.


The pending exams for Class 12 include 12 core subjects — Business Studies, Geography, Hindi (Core), Hindi (Elective), Home Science, Sociology, Computer Science (Old), Computer Science (New), Information Practice (Old), Information Practice (New), Information Technology and Bio-Technology.
