The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) on Friday constituted a special committee to devise an evaluation policy for Class 12 students. The committee will decide the well-defined objective criteria for the evaluation of Class 12 students and will submit its report within 10 days.

“We’re in the process of structuring the criteria for Class 12 evaluation. We will put it in the public domain once it is completed. Parents, teachers, principals and students need to wait for it a bit. Also request all not to panic,” Anurag Tripathi, Secretary, CBSE, had earlier told ANI.

In view of the uncertain conditions due to COVID and the feedback obtained from various stakeholders, it was decided that CBSE Class 12 Board Exams would not be held this year. Soon after, the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE) has scrapped its ISC examination.
