According to the Union Education Minister students who are unhappy with their Class 10, 12 results can appear for offline tests in August. Pokhriyal remarked on Twitter while addressing worries about the CBSE and various entrance tests.
“I am constantly receiving a lot of your messages and information. Some of your apprehensions have also been expressed in the messages you have. If you have any other query related to CBSE exams then you can send me on Twitter, Facebook, or also by mail,” the minister tweeted on Thursday.
On June 25, Education Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal went live on Twitter and declared that students who are disappointed with their grades can appear for optional tests in August.
Students who are dissatisfied with their results need not be worried since the administration is well prepared to conduct tests if the situation permits. He explained “The physical exams will be conducted in August once the situation improves. I reiterate that our top priority is your safety, health, and future.”
After the board exams were cancelled on June 1, the Central Board of Secondary Education recently announced the marking scheme for evaluating Class 12 students. Students will be evaluated based on their Class 10, 11, and 12 grades, according to the finalized marking scheme.
However, a decision on NEET, JEE, and other entrance exams is still awaited. Pokhriyal will speak with students about their concerns, CBSE marking schemes, and other exam-related issues.
The CBSE has announced a three-part evaluation system for Class 12 students: Class 10 component (30%) based on the best three performing subjects in Board exams, Class 11 component (30%) based on the final exam, and Class 12 component (40%) based on unit test/mid-term/Pre-board. Students can raise their concerns regarding marking schemes, exam policy, and other exams with the education minister.
