The chief minister also hinted on reopening of schools for classes 1 to 8. “Children want to go back to schools and colleges but parents and teachers are worried. Since vaccines are here, we hope we will be able to open schools soon,” he said.

Last year, as the board exams were cancelled due to pandemic, CBSE adopted a new marking scheme. As per the new marking scheme, the subjects for which exams could not be held, marks will be based on the ‘average of best of three subjects’ for which the student has already given the exam. 

In case a student has appeared for only three papers, the assessment will be made on the basis of the best of two and for limited students who have appeared for only one or two exams, the marks obtained in the internal or practicals will be considered.
