The Supreme Court will hear the petitions of CBSE, ICSE at 2 p.m. on Tuesday. The CBSE has notified the Supreme Court that the results of Class 12 Board exams will be declared by July 31 and dispute in the results done in accordance with its evaluation policy will be referred to a Committee formed by the CBSE.

The Board has also informed the Apex Court that online facilities will be provided to those students who remain unhappy with the results declared by the Board Committee for a re-examination after the pandemic situation improves. The marks of re-examination will be treated as final for the students who opt the same. It has further informed that this re-examination will be conducted between August 15 to September 15.

The Board has also said that for private/patrachar/second chance compartment candidates the examinations will be conducted in a manner that they fall in the assessment policy for the year 2019-20 as approved by the Court last year in the case of Amit Bhatla and Ors Vs CBSE and their results will be declared in accordance with the said policy. 

The examination of these candidates will also be conducted between August 15 to September 15. 

The submissions have been made by CBSE through an affidavit filed in the plea by Adv Mamta Sharma seeking cancellation of Class 12 CBSE and ICSE examinations. 

Speaking on this turmoil regarding the examination, Dr Mona Lisa Bal, Chairperson, KiiT International School said, “The batch of 2020-2021 board students have faced the most uncertain academic year in recent history. We welcome the assessment that has been given a nod by our honourable Supreme Court as it gives a concrete direction to the marking scheme. As a responsible school, we will take the best interest of the students while marking them. One aspect that could do with further deliberation is that we often see some students reach their true potential in the later part of their school years. The results of these late bloomers might have some implication if they have not had decent scores in two of the three classes to be taken into consideration. However, keeping the option of taking the class 12 exams open for such students is again a positive step.”
