CBSE Class 12 Results: Board Working on These Two Options to Evaluate Students

New Delhi: As the Government on Tuesday announced that the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) Class 12 exams would not be held, the board is working on two options for marking Class 12 students. The first option is to assess the students on the basis of their performances in Classes 10 and 11 final exams, as well as Class 12 internal exams. The other option is to give weightage to Class 10 board exam results, and internal assessments in Class 12.

The decision of cancelling the exam was taken after a meeting of Prime Minister Narendra Modi with union ministers, cabinet secretary, and other stakeholders. Union Minister of Information and Broadcasting Prakash Javadekar and Union Minister of Finance Nirmala Sitharaman were also part of the meeting.
