CBSE class X: Overall 33% in each subject enough to pass this yr
TIMES NEWS NETWORK
CBSE Class X students who will sit for
Board exam on March 5, the first mandatory public exam after eight
years, “need to secure overall 33% (both internal assessment and the
Board exam marks taken together) in the subject to be able to pass”.
They will be exempted from the mandatory separate pass criteria in
subjects having internal assessment component of 20 marks and 80 marks
of Board examination.
The Central Board of Secondary Education on Tuesday notified this one-time exemption.
The CBSE had introduced
the Comprehensive and Continuous Evaluation (CCE) scheme along with
optional Board exam. All others took the school-based exam. The CCE
system was revoked in 2017 and Class X Board examination was made
mandatory.
According to the notification issued by CBSE
chairperson Anita Karwal, the examination committee recently decided to
give the one-time exemption to the Class X students as they will be the
first batch after the Board exam made a comeback. The same passing
criteria will also apply in the additional subjects, provided they have
internal assessment of 20 marks and Board examination of 80 marks.
This rule will also apply for students with
subjects under National Skills Qualifications Framework scheme for the
five major subjects —two languages, science, mathematics and social
science. The provision of replacement of subjects extended to the NSQF
students “for the failed subjects (out of the three subjects – science,
mathematics and social science) by the vocational subject (passed by the
candidate under NSQF) would continue to apply”. However, for vocational
subjects listed in Annexure I, which were notified on March 9, 2017,
there will be no exemption from separate pass criteria as the internal
assessment component of these subjects comprise 50 marks. In these
subjects, mandatory separate pass criteria of securing 33% both in
internal as well as Board examination will apply.
