Class 10 students will now be evaluated on the basis of some “objective criterion” yet to be developed by the CBSE. “In case a candidate is not satisfied with the marks allocated based on this criterion, he or she will be allowed to write the exam as and when the spread of coronavirus is under control”, Ministry of Education said.
Several Class 10 students are disappointed that the government took so long to take a call on the board exams and have now cancelled it leading to a waste of their efforts.
Class 10 students studying in Uttar Pradesh-based Kendriya Vidyalaya are calling the decision as “unfair” as they had been preparing for board exams and not internal assessment.
