The CBSE Class XII Board Examinations were scheduled to be conducted from February 15, 2020, till March 30, 2020. Due to spread of Covid-19 pandemic, CBSE was forced to cancel examinations scheduled from March 19, 2020, to March 30, 2020, in 12 subjects along with examinations in 11 subjects for students of North-Eastern Delhi. These exams were re-scheduled to be held from July 1, 2020, to July 15, 2020.
Looking at the uncertainties and unprecedented situation and keeping in mind the health and well-being of students, the Supreme Court of India passed orders on June 26, 2020, approving the assessment scheme of CBSE to compute results on the following criteria:
- For the students of both classes X and XII, who had completed all their examinations, their results declared based on their performance ast the examinations.
- For students who appeared sat the examinations in more than 3 subjects, the average of the marks obtained in best three performing subjects have been awarded in the subjects whose examinations were not conducted.
- For students who appeared ast the examinations in only 3 subjects, the average of the marks obtained in the best two performing subjects have been awarded in the subjects whose examinations have not been conducted.
- There are very few students of class-XII, mainly from Delhi, who have appeared in the examinations in only 1 or 2 subjects. Their results have been declared based on performance in the appeared subjects and performance in internal/practical/projects assessment. These students will also be allowed to appear in the optional examinations conducted by CBSE to improve their performance, if they desire to do so. Result of these students will also be declared along with other students.
The CBSE has decided to replace the term “FAIL” by the term “Essential Repeat”. Hence, in the result declared no “FAIL” term will be mentioned in the documents issued to the candidates and the result hosted on the website.
