The CBSE had earlier this month announced a policy for the tabulation of marks for Class 10 board exams, which were cancelled in view of the Covid-19 pandemic situation in the country.
According to the policy, while 20 marks for each subject will be for internal assessment as every year, 80 marks will be calculated on the basis of the student's performance in various tests or exams throughout the year.
The board had asked schools to form a result committee consisting of principal and seven teachers for finalising results.
Five teachers from the school should be from Mathematics, Social Science, Science and two languages, and two teachers from neighbouring schools should be co-opted by the school as the external members of the committee.
For candidates who have not appeared in enough tests throughout the year, the CBSE has asked schools to conduct online or telephonic assessments.
On April 14, the CBSE had announced the cancellation of Class 10 exams and the postponement of Class 12 exams in view of a surge in Covid-19 cases.
