CBSE term 2 board exams for class 10, 12 from April 26
"The board has already administered the first tests. After consulting with numerous stakeholders and taking into account the country's Covid-19 pandemic scenario, the board decided to hold the term 2 examinations in offline form solely," in an official announcement, the board stated.
FollowThe Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) declared in an official notification that the term 2 examinations would begin on April 26. In contrast to term 1, students will be assigned to separate exam centres for term 2 examinations. "The board has already administered the first tests. After consulting with numerous stakeholders and taking into account the country's Covid-19 pandemic scenario, the board decided to hold the term 2 examinations in offline form solely," in an official announcement, the board stated.
While there have been claims that some institutions aided students taking board examinations could not be verified, CBSE has opted to assign test centres for term 2 papers. According to the official announcement, "students will present in exams from the designated examination centres, as they have done in previous years."
CBSE term 2 examinations will follow a different schedule from term 1 exams. The combined results of the term 1 and term 2 examinations will make up for the final result. Term 2 examinations would be theoretical, whereas term 1 exams were merely MCQs. As previously announced by CBSE, term 2 examinations would include both short and long type questions. The test will be two hours long and will include an internal choice. The theoretical paper will be worth 80 marks, with the remaining marks going to internal evaluation or practicals. The allocation of marks for theory and practicals varies per topic. CBSE has also given sample papers for students' convenience.
The results for CBSE term 1 are yet to be released. For many students, the official CBSE website - cbseresults.nic.in - is not loading. There is still no word on whether or not the term result has been released. The course will be covered in halves for the term 1 and term 2 examinations. The final results will be published only when the term 2 examinations are completed. No student shall be deemed pass or fail solely on the basis of their term 1 grade.
