Declare Class 12 Results by July 31: Supreme Court

NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court of India asked all states on Thursday to provide the evaluation scheme for Class 12 results in 10 days.

The Top Court asked all states to annouce the Class 12 results by July 31.

State boards need to prepare an internal assessment scheme for Class 12 exams and declare the results on that basis by July 31, the Supreme Court said today.

The internal assessment needs to be formulated within 10 days, the top court said.

Earlier this month, the Supreme Court gave CBSE and CISCE boards two weeks' time as well to frame alternative assessment criteria to evaluate the students.

Just like the state boards, the results of the main exams conducted by CBSE and CISCE will have to be declared by July 31.

Both the boards presented the evaluation criteria last week which the top court-approved and called "fair and reasonable".

"There is no reason to interfere with the CBSE and ICSE schemes," the court said and also rejected a plea for canceling the compartment exams for Class 12.

An appeal by some parents and students, who initially sought an option of physical examination, was rejected.
