The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) in a notification has informed schools to complete all internal assessment and submit marks by June 28. The internal and practical exams are to be conducted online.
“Some schools have not been able to complete the school¬ based assessments in various subjects due to the pandemic. Schools with pending practicals/internal assessments are permitted to conduct the same in only online mode and upload marks on the provided link latest by 28.06.2021,” said the notification issued by CBSE Controller of Examinations Sanyam Bhardwaj.
For practical examinationsof project evaluations, theCBSE had appointed an external examiner who woulddecide on a date and conduct online viva voces. For internal assessment, the subject teacher concerned would test students based on the instructions provided by the CBSE.
The policyfor conducting such assessments for private candidates would be issued soon, said Dr. Bhardwaj. Examiners were warned to “keep in mind that the marks allotted should not bunch towards the maximum marks which is highly unlikely in view of diverse levels of students”.
Dr. Bhardwaj is a part ofthe 12member panel set upby the CBSE last week to decide on objective criteria to determine Class 12 results after the exams were cancelled. One of the options being considered is using the marks from students’ internal assessments, unit tests, project and practical work done through the year.
