CBSE students have their hopes up and are waiting for results at 2 pm on July 30

Excitement and anticipation of a possible great result took over the city, as Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) finally announced the release of class 12th examination on July 30 at 2 pm.
Hopeful that they will score much better based on the current assessment, students in Indore were all set to party and celebrate. Most students were happy as their track record was better than the possible board examinations.
Sharing their excitement and content with the cancellation of exams, students chatted with us.

“I was just happy that I did not have to see that wretched RD Sharma again!” said Aarna Baheti, a PCM student. She is hoping to get better marks in Maths considering the new assessment policy.

“I could’ve gone on a victory run on hearing the news! Though my parents and I held an opposing stance, I think they were also glad that they didn’t have to bear the responsibility (or the pain) of hearing me butcher the history of India with political science every day,” said Gunjan Pahuja, a humanities student.

On the flip-side, the prospective toppers of the batch had a different outlook. One of them, Shriyansh Raj, said, “It was a very different feeling, I did feel relieved and happy, but also felt weird that so much hard work and preparation led to nothing.”

“On the one hand, we didn’t have to take the exams as most of us wanted and anxiety related to Covid was done with, but Class 10 came to an abrupt end, leaving me feeling aimless,” Aryaman Mishra added.

Assessment scheme


For class 12, CBSE will have the scheme as follows. About 40% of the marks will be based on the pre-board examinations or unit tests, while class 10 and 11 will each amount to 30% of the marks.

The board has adopted a 30:30:40 formula to evaluate class 12 students based on the results of class 10, 11 and 12 examinations, respectively.
