Please filed by Advocate Mamta Sharma, and Anubha Srivastava and 7 others will be heard. This is in continuation to the hearing on cancellation of board exams and finding an objective criteria for result.
After deciding to scrap the Class 12 board exams 2021 earlier this month, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) and CISCE are submitting details of the alternative evaluation criteria to the Supreme Court today. The CBSE had asked for 04 weeks time from the top court to decide on evaluation criteria although the court directed the board to submit a report within 02 weeks.
The CBSE set up a 13 member committee to review the situations and decide on the modalities of the alternative evaluation criteria for determining the Class 12 results this year. Now the final report is to be presented before the court, indicating the details of the evaluation criteria.
Based on media reports, there has been a broad consensus in the decision of the committee members to include the marks of Class 10 and Class 11 besides the Class 12 internal marks in the evaluation parameters. The committee is comprised of eminent officials including IAS Vipin Kumar and the Joint Secretary of the Ministry of Education of the Central Government. The official alternative criteria has not been announced yet and subject to the top court’s ruling today.
Earlier this month, the CBSE decided to scrap the Class 12 exams on account of the pandemic and other national education boards including CISCE followed suit. While the CBSE had already scraped the Class 10 exams earlier, the objective evaluation criteria for preparation of the cancelled Class 10 results 2021 is now known. The total marks weightage is distributed in the 20:80 between internal assessments and exams conducted/projects/unit-tests conducted throughout the year by respective schools.
Nothing is known as of now as to what might be the alternative criteria developed by the CBSE which will be submitted to the Supreme Court today. As per reports, most committee members of the 13 member committee are in favour of considering the marks of Class 10 & Class 11 besides the Class 12 internal assessment & pre-board marks in the evaluation criteria. A final call is yet to be taken, an official source was quoted saying.
It is also being reported that an alternative to conduct physical exams will also be considered for those students, who might chose to appear in such exams for re-evaluation of merit. Such exams can only be conducted after the situations are more conducive to conduct organized exams in the usual mode.
The top court is expected to hear the plea and rule on the decided criterion today. Earlier, the court did not allow 04 weeks time citing that it would cause unnecessary delay in releasing the result of the Class 12 exams. On the other hand, CBSE has directed all schools to conduct practicals and internals (if pending) and submit the marks within the last date this month.
