Class 12 results: Complete tabulation, moderation of marks in time-bound manner

NEW DELHI: The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) on Thursday directed schools affiliated to it to complete tabulation and moderation of marks for class 12 students in a time-bound manner so that the result can be declared by July 31.

The board exams for class 12 were cancelled in view of the second wave of COVID-19.

Results will be declared on the basis of an alternated assessment policy announced by CBSE that takes into consideration the marks of classes 10, 11 and 12 besides internal assessment and projects.

“As the board has to declare the result latest by July 31, schools are requested to follow the schedule strictly and complete the moderation within schedule. If any school is left to complete the moderation within the stipulated schedule, their result will be declared separately after July 31.”

“It is important to reiterate that the common objective before all of us is the declaration of valid, reliable and unbiased results of the students in the pandemic situation,” CBSE Examination Controller Sanyam Bhardwaj said in a letter to school principals.

The board said that the portal for finalisation and moderation of results will open from July 16 to July 22.

“Moderating marks of class 11 and 12 will be a great responsibility, which has to be done in a manner to ensure justice and fairness to students.

Any differential application of policy across schools may result in either adverse impact or undue gain for some students.

“It should be kept in mind that the responsibility of the result committee is being exercised on the behalf of CBSE for the entire student population and should not be seen as limited to that of a particular school.
