To pass the exam, students need to score at least 35 per cent marks. In case a student is not happy with their marks they can apply for re-checking. The window for re-checking will remain open till July 16 at cisce.org. The rechecking facility will be available only for the subjects for which exams were conducted. Further, if a student is not happy with the assessment, they can appear for a written exam when the situation is conducive, as CISCE had informed the court. Further details on this are awaited.

This year, a special marking scheme was used to calculate marks. For subjects for which exams were not held, marks were given on the basis of internal assessment and best of three. The three highest-scoring subjects (for which the exam has taken place) were counted while the internal assessment of the papers which can also include project work will also be added. The weightage of 70:30 will be given to both the marking schemes, respectively.
