SC okays CBSE plan for Class X, XII exams
Assessment results to be out by July 15
27/06/2020
The Supreme Court accepted a Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) scheme, where students of Class X and XII will be assessed for the exams cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic by taking an average of their best performance in the papers they have already taken.
The cancelled exams were originally scheduled between July 1 and 15.
Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, for the CBSE, said the assessment scheme was available on the official website. “Assessment of the performance of students in the cancelled examinations will be done based on the assessment scheme,” a three-judge Bench, led by Justice A.M. Khanwilkar, referred to the CBSE notification in a 10-page order.
The assessment results will be out by July 15.
The Bench said its order and the notification would govern “any petition pending in this court or any other court concerning the subject of conducting examinations for Classes 10 and 12 by the CBSE scheduled from July 1 to July 15”.
The ICSE, represented by senior advocate Jaideep Gupta, said it would have a “slightly different” assessment scheme from that of the CBSE. It had also cancelled exams scheduled between July 1 and 14. Mr. Gupta informed the court that its scheme would be available on its website in a week.
According to the CBSE scheme, students of Class X and XII, who have completed their exams, will be assessed on their performance.
