CBSE class 10 results to be announced today at 12 noon

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) will announce the results of the class 10 board examinations at 12 noon on Tuesday, reports news agency PTI.

“The results will be announced at 12 noon today,” a senior official told PTI.

Class 12 and class 10 board exams were cancelled by the CBSE due to the aggressive second wave of COVID-19. The results, therefore, would be declared on the basis of an alternate assessment policy.

According to the policy, while 20 marks for each subject were for internal assessment as every year, 80 marks were calculated on basis of the students’ performance in various tests or exams throughout the year.

The results would be available at the board’s official website – cbse.nic.in.

The CBSE class 12 board exam results had been declared on July 30. This year, the CBSE recorded the highest-ever pass percentage of 99.37. Girls outshone boys by a slender margin of 0.54%.

The pass percentage increased by over 10 percentage points against last year’s 88.78 per cent. The difference between the pass percentage of girls and boys was nearly six percent last year.

According to the policy decided by a 13-member panel of the board, the theory paper evaluation formula is 30 per cent weightage to Class 10 marks, another 30 per cent to Class 11 marks and 40 per cent weightage to marks obtained in Class 12 unit test, mid-term and pre-board exams.

“For the implementation of tabulation policy successfully and in the given time frame, it was considered important to facilitate the work to be done by teachers. So, in order to facilitate schools and help them in compilation and moderation of results and reduce any inadvertent errors on their part, a comprehensive and feature-rich system was developed by IT team of the CBSE,” CBSE Examinations Controller Sanyam Bhardwaj said.

He noted that there were about a lakh students who were from boards other than CBSE.
