In view of the Covid-19 pandemic situation in the country, CBSE Class 10 and Class 12 board exams are cancelled.

New Delhi: Delhi High Court has issued notice to the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), Centre and Delhi government on a plea seeking modification in policy for the tabulation of marks for Class 10 board exams based on the internal assessment conducted by the school.

A plea was filed in the Delhi HC seeking modification in the tabulation policy for Class 10 marks released by CBSE on May 1, 2021. The court has sought answers on the plea.

This comes soon after Centre yesterday announced its decision to cancel CBSE Class 12 Board Examinations 2021 as well. While the evaluation policy for Class 12 has not been decided as yet, the plea challenging the Class 10 policy may lead to further delays.

The CBSE had earlier this month announced a policy for the tabulation of marks.

Though the details of the plea are not accessible at the moment, there have been many reports of students and teachers not being happy with the tabulation policy. Many had even approached the board, which in turn had conducted a webinar to answer the queries.

CBSE had earlier announced that Class 10 students will be evaluated out of a total 100 marks for each subject. While 20 marks will be from internal assessment, 80 will be calculated from different exams conducted throughout the year.

CBSE's notification on the evaluation criteria also said: “The marks should be in consonance with the past performance of the school in Class 10 Board examinations.”

The board had directed each affiliated school to constitute a result committee consisting of the principal and seven teachers to finalise the Class 10 result.
