The Central Board of Secondary Education has constituted a 13-member committee to draw up the criteria for evaluation for Class 12 board exams, officials said.
The Committee, comprising officers from the Education Ministry, CBSE, representatives of schools, University Grants Commission, will decide the objective criteria and submit its report in 10 days.
The CBSE had cancelled the Class 12 examinations on June 1 owing to the raging Covid-19 pandemic, a decision welcomed by the students and parents alike.
The Council for Indian School Certificate Examinations also followed suit and cancelled Class 12 exams.
On Friday, the National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS) also announced the cancellation of the Class 12 examination.
“(NIOS) Students will be evaluated based on objective criteria to be announced soon. This will benefit around 1.75 lakh students,” Education Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank said.
