  • Hold Class 12 practicals in online mode, says CBSE

    By Express News Service
    NEW DELHI: The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) on Monday asked all schools affiliated with it to complete internal assessments by June-end and conduct practical examinations for Class 12 students online.

    The directive comes a week after the Centre, following a high-level meeting chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, decided to cancel the board examination this year in view of the pandemic.

    Nearly 12 lakh students had registered for the examinations, traditionally held in the month of March every year.

    The government has said students will be evaluated instead through a “well-defined” and “time-bound” criteria for an assessment plan, which is now being drafted and will include internal assessment among others.

    CBSE sources said many schools had approached it saying carrying out internal assessments was proving to be difficult as conducting practicals was a problem due to the Covid situation.

    “Schools with pending internal assessment and practicals should complete them through online mode and submit to the board by 28 June,” read the CBSE circular. 

    The earlier deadline for uploading marks was June 11. The latest order gives schools extension for conducting practical work while underlining that no further extension will be given. 

    ​Schools have also been asked to strictly adhere to Covid protocols while conducting the assessments.

    By ANI
    NEW DELHI: Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) asked schools to complete the pending practical and internal assessment through online mode only and upload it by June 28.

    The letter released by the Board on Monday addresses the schools under it saying that practical and internal assessment are to be conducted only via online mode.

    “In subjects where external examiner has not been appointed, the concerned school teacher of the subject will conduct the internal assessment based on the instructions given in Curriculum in an online mode and upload the marks awarded at the link provided by the Board,” the letter reads.

    However, where external examiners are appointed by CBSE, the external examiner will decide the date of examination in consultation with internal examiners and take viva voce through online mode.

    It further states that immediately on completion of the conduct of the examination, the marks will be uploaded on the link provided by the board. While uploading marks, it will be ensured that correct marks are uploaded as no correction in the marks once uploaded will be allowed.

    Schools have been asked to strictly adhere to all the COVID protocols while conducting school-based assessments.

    The policy for the conduct of Practical/Project/Internal Assessment component for private candidates registered for 2021 Class XII exams will be declared soon, it added.

    The board has constituted a committee to decide the criteria for Class 12 school-based assessment. The committee will submit its report with 10 days.
