How did CBSE calculate marks?

CBSE said it took note of the unique challenges in calculating the exam results fairly in absence of a uniform written exam. While on one hand, it needed to protect the interests of bright students, it also had to be mindful that the internal exam criteria are different for each school affiliated with the board. So the board came up with the following formula after much deliberation and research.

To calculate marks in the theory component (as a replacement to actual exams)

40 percent weightage was assigned to Class 12 internal marks --- like sessionals, unit tests, etc conducted in this academic year.

30 percent weightage was given to marks secured in theoretical papers in Class 11.

30 percent marks were calculated based on a working average of total marks in Class 10 theory exams, and the marks scored in the three best scoring subjects out of the five main subjects.

To calculate marks in practical:

The actual practical marks will be considered as updated by the respective schools on the CBSE portal.

Déjà vu for Shriyansh Raj Awadhiya

“I am feeling great! I was the city topper in class 10th CBSE board examination. It was dream to achieve the same in PCM (physics, chemistry, maths) in class 12th. I am lucky to have been able to do it. My goal is to clear JEE Main and JEE advanced and study in IIT (Indian Institute of Technology). The only thing that has helped in sticking to my goals, achieving good results and making mark is a simple lesson. The lesson is: Take study as a source of gathering knowledge.”

The essential lesson that I have learned and want to share with everyone is: We should try to make mental health our priority. Covid gave all of us mental hiccups and it’s high time, we learn the importance of mental well-being.”
