Class XII provisional marksheets out

Schools say not many students want to opt for the exams

The provisional marksheets for 8.16 lakh Class XII students of the State board schools were made available on Thursday for downloading online by the Directorate of Government Examinations. Some schools called students to the campus in small batches to give them the printouts of the marksheets as well as their transfer certificates. After the board examinations were cancelled, the State government said 50% weightage would be given to the Class X public examination marks (an average of the top three subjects); 20% to the Class XI public examination theory marks; and 30% to the Class XII practicals/internal assessment marks. While the Department of School Education has said that students who are not happy with these results can sit for the examinations along with 39,000 private candidates, schools say a majority of the students are not inclined to go for the examinations. The Department has made it clear that the marks scored in the examinations will be final.
