CBSE on Monday told the Supreme Court that optional Class XII board examinations for students not satisfied with their assessment would be held any time between August 15 and September 15, subject to the situation being conducive.
In an affidavit filed in the apex court, the board said the result, on the basis of its assessment policy, will be declared by July-end, after which it will provide online facility for registration for the optional examination for those students who are not satisfied with their results. It, however, said the examination will be conducted only in the main subjects and “the marks obtained by a candidate in this examination will be treated as final”.
It said policy for tabulation of marks for Class XII board examination has been formulated by CBSE to ensure standardisation of marks, as marks of Class XI and XII component will be awarded at school level and, therefore, they will strictly not be comparable across schools due to variations in quality of question papers, evaluation standards and processes and the mode of conduct of exams etc.
As some of the parents opposed cancellation of the board examination and pleaded that it could be conducted in view of the Covid-19 pandemic being under control, a bench of Justices A M Khanwilkar and Dinesh Maheshwari said it would hear their plea also and take a final call.
