The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has announced the assessment scheme for Class 12 students following the cancellation of board examinations in the region.
The board examinations of Class 10 and Class 12 students were cancelled due to the ongoing US-Israel-Iran war. The cancellation affected students in Bahrain, Iran, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
Calculation of Final Grades
In subjects where students have appeared for their examinations, their actual performance will be taken into account for declaration of results.
For subjects where examinations were not conducted, the final grade will be based on practical or internal assessment and theory examinations.
Theory-Based Subjects
For subjects with theory marks of 80 or 70, such as Mathematics, English, History and Biology, schools must submit students’ scores from three internal tests: the quarterly exam, the half-yearly exam and the final Pre-Board exam. The best score among the three will be used to calculate the final result.
Skill-Based Subjects
For skill-based subjects where the maximum theory marks are 60, 50 or 30, such as Information Technology, Tourism and Design, only the final Pre-Board exam score will be counted. If a student was absent for the final Pre-Board, the score from the previous exam will be used instead.
Students who sat for all their registered exams before the cancellations will have their results declared based on their actual exam performance.
Uploading and Declaration of Results
Schools have from April 6 to April 13 to calculate the final grades and upload them on a platform provided by CBSE. Once marks are uploaded, they cannot be changed. Schools are expected to submit scores fairly and without bias.
If a candidate is unhappy with the result, the board may offer a fresh set of examinations, but only if conditions are favourable. Marks obtained in such exams will be treated as final.
Results for these students will be declared alongside results for all other CBSE Class 12 students.
