CBSE has said that if a student is not able to take all the exams and fails to appear for one or two papers because of Covid-19, then they may receive the results under a special scheme.
The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) announced Monday that students who fail to appear for both Term-1 and Term-2 examinations will not be allowed to sit for compartment exams this year and have to repeat the class.
In a live webinar ahead of the CBSE term-2 exam from April 26, Sanyam Bhardwaj, the board’s controller of examinations, said that students who were marked absent in term-1 exams and do not appear for term-2 exams will not be allowed to take the compartment exams because “all class 12 compartment exams are conducted on the same day.” For class 10, the compartment exams are conducted in the time period of 7 days.
As a relaxation amid covid, the board had last year provided a provision for candidates in the essential repeat' category to appear for the compartment exams. . Students who fail to appear or score minimum passing marks in three or more subjects are placed in the ‘essential repeat’ category.
However, those who appear for exams in either of the two terms will receive a grade based on their performance in one of them. Besides, if a student is not able to take all the exams and appears for only three to four of them because of Covid 19, then they may receive the results under a special scheme. “The alternate grading scheme will be decided by the board at the appropriate time and will be in favor of students,” added Bhardwaj.
