Class 12th evaluation: 30:30:40 weightage for class 10, 11 and 12 scores

• The story: Fourteen lakh Class 12 students from the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) will be assessed on the new criteria. The Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE) is also expected to largely follow the CBSE formula with some additions. The final score of a Class 12 student will be determined by the CBSE based on his performance in classes 10, 11 and 12 in a 30:30:40 ratio, while the CISCE will also take into account the overall performance in the last six years, as per the evaluation criteria submitted by school boards before the Supreme Court.
• The CBSE Class 12 formula: For the theory section, 40% weight will be given to marks obtained in school unit tests, mid-term exams and pre-board exams in Class 12. Another 30% will go to the final exam results of Class 11. The remaining 30% will be based on the “best of three” subjects’ average score in Class 10. The Class 10 scores are being added to the evaluation formula to bring in a standardised and objective indicator, the CBSE conveyed in its affidavit before the apex court. The practical/internal assessment of Class 12 will be “on actual basis” as uploaded by the school on the CBSE portal. It has also been made clear that the total marks awarded should be in consonance with the past performance of the school in Class 12 board examinations. CBSE results of Class 10 and 12 are expected to be out by July 20 and by July 31, respectively. In case a student is not able to meet the qualifying criteria, the student will be placed in the “Essential Repeat” or “Compartment” category. Those not satisfied with this evaluation formula will be permitted to opt for a physical exam, as and when the pandemic situation eases up.
• Results committee: Every school will have to set up a five-member ‘Result Committee’ to handle all result calculation matters. This committee will be chaired by the school principal and have on board two senior-most teachers of the school teaching in Class 12 besides two teachers of Class 12 from a neighbouring school. Assistance of a teacher with an IT background is also advised. Subject teachers are to be present in committee deliberations on subject-specific performance assessment.
• Other issues: To ensure standardisation of Class 11 and 12 scores awarded internally by schools, each school has been asked to internally moderate the marks by using a reliable reference standard which could be clearly explainable.
