The Directorate of Education (DoE) on Tuesday asked the government-run and aided schools to follow CBSE notification for the tabulation of marks for the 2020-21 academic session, during which Class 10 board exams have been cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. CBSE announced alternative evaluation criteria on May 1 for the students of Class 10 and the Delhi government’s directions are based on the same. According to the CBSE’s marking scheme, while 20 marks for each subject will be for internal assessment as every year, 80 marks will be calculated on basis of the student’s performance in various tests or exams conducted throughout the year. The Delhi government has instructed its schools to evaluate Class 10 students on the basis of their performances in the pre-board and internal assessment exams held during the academic year 2020-21. For those who have not attended one or more of their pre-board examinations, the government has asked schools to conduct one-to-one assessment telephonically to prepare their final results in the absence of board examinations. “If any student has not appeared in any one or more than one subject(s) of the Pre Board examinations 2021, the school may conduct one to one assessment of such students telephonically as per guidelines of the CBSE and record documentary evidence to certify the marks recommendations. The students may be assessed objectively out of maximum marks of each subject,” the circular said.
