CBSE developing portal to tabulate marks for Class 12

PNS

The CBSE on Friday issued a notification to all the school principals regarding the Information Technology system being developed in-house to aid them.

“This system will ease down the calculation work, reduce time taken and so many other hassles. This system will also pre-populate the marks of Class X of the students passed from CBSE. Efforts will also be made to take other Boards’ Class X data,” said the notification.  The portal to check and update Class 10 results for all students will be available from Monday, while other software modules for the other components will be provided after that.

According to the tabulation policy, schools have been asked to form their Results Committees by June 23, and upload all marks — including Class 11 theory scores and Class 12 unit tests and pre-board scores — by July 15. The final results will be declared by the CBSE on July 31. The Board will not publish any merit list of the top 0.1% of students this year, nor will it issue merit certificates.

The Centre had on Thursday announced the criteria for the cancelled class 12 CBSE Board exams by adopting a 30:30:40 formula for evaluation of marks based on the results of class 10, 11 and 12 respectively. The results will be declared by July end. 

The Government informed the Supreme Court that 30 per cent marks will be based on class 10 board exam, another 30 per cent from class 11 and 40 per cent marks based on the performance in the unit, mid-term and pre-board tests of class 12.

The Supreme Court accepted the formula of CBSE and CISCE to evaluate the Class 12 students, whose board examinations were cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic. CISCE has though formed a different criteria to evaluate the marking system of the class 12 students.
