CBSE has announced a special assessment scheme for Class 10 students in the Middle East after cancelling the remaining board exams. Instead of conducting a new examination, the board will declare results based on a formula-based evaluation. Marks will be calculated from the papers a student has already appeared for, with averages of best-performing subjects used wherever exams were missed.

As per the Board’s latest notice, CBSE has created a category-wise marking formula based on the number of exams attempted:

–Appeared in all exams: Marks will be awarded based on actual performance in all subjects.

–Appeared in 4 exams: Average of the best three subjects will be used.

–Appeared in 3 exams: Average of the best two subjects will be considered.

–Appeared in 2 exams: Result will be based on the average marks of those two papers.

Students who appeared in only one or two subjects — especially those from previous batches (last year or earlier) who registered for limited papers — will have their results prepared based on available performance. If they missed any exam, they will be allowed to appear in the second board examination cycle, which the CBSE has newly introduced for this session of exams.

In 2024, 93.60 per cent students had passed the Class 10 exams. A total of 2,238,827 students had appeared. Over 47,000 students had scored marks above 95 per cent, while more than 2 lakh students scoring above 90 per cent. A total of 20.9 lakh students had passed the 2024 CBSE Class 10 exams. Girls had outshined boys with a pass rate of 94.75 per cent.

Around 6.69 lakh students, or 27% of those who appeared in the CBSE’s first round of Class 10 board exam had registered for the second set of exams.

After Ranchi’s Avni Kejriwal secured a perfect 500 out of 500 following re-evaluation, another CBSE Class 12 student, Aditya Mishra, has emerged as a joint national topper in the Science stream after his Biology score was revised upward by three marks. With the increase, his score in the best five subjects now stands at 498 out of 500.

“I want to serve mankind as a doctor,” Aditya said on Tuesday, reflecting on his journey from the original results to the revised score.

When CBSE announced the Class 12 results on May 13, Aditya scored 99.20% in aggregate, with 96 marks in biology. However, his teachers encouraged him to apply for re-evaluation. “My teachers thought the score was less than expected. Since I was busy preparing for the NEET examination, I did not focus much on it,” he said. His parents and teachers subsequently submitted the paper for re-evaluation, which added three marks, taking his biology score to 99.

While Ranchi girl Avni Kejriwal marks increased to 500 after applying for re-evaluation, many CBSE Class 12 are still facing trouble. For weeks, the Central Board of Secondary Education has been trying to put a troubled exam season behind it. It hasn’t quite managed to do that. At the centre of the controversy once again is Class 12 student Vedant Shrivastava, whose case first brought national attention to concerns surrounding the CBSE re-evaluation process. Weeks after applying for a review of his Physics board examination paper, Vedant says he is still awaiting his re-evaluation result, despite the board indicating that most revised results have already been declared.

“Many students, including me, have still not received our CBSE re-evaluation results despite the board announcing that most results have been released,” he shared over social media.

Vedant had earlier become the face of a controversy that snowballed into one of the most discussed CBSE issues in recent years. When he sought a copy of his Physics answer script during the review process, the answer sheet he received was not his own. It was mix-up, later admitted by the board, with that of another student. After he shared the issue online, hundreds of students began posting similar complaints, alleging discrepancies in marks, unawarded answers, and answer-sheet mix-ups.
