CBSE 2021 Board Result: The result of Class 12 of the Central Council of Secondary Education (CBSE) will be announced today at 2 p.m., the board informed via a tweet.
Board exams have been canceled this year due to the aggressive second wave of COVID-19, and the outcome will be announced based on an alternative board assessment policy.
The CBSE told the Delhi High Court on Thursday that the assessment policy for this year’s Class Council 10 exam has been prepared to keep in mind that no school should be able to commit injustice with students and that grades would be awarded based on learning.
The board said that the respondent had been given to the results committee to ensure a fair, equitable, and reliable result and that a similar policy with extended freedom has been prepared in the class 12 policy which has already been approved by the Supreme Court.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 10th class exams have been canceled by the board and an assessment policy has been formulated to assess students this year.
The CBSE lawyer argued before a bench of Chief Justice DN Patel and Judge Jyoti Singh that there was no illegality in referring to the previous year’s result of a school’s Class 10 in order to maintain the normalization of the result.
I submit that, when formulating the evaluation policy for class X, there is neither abuse of authority on the part of the respondent (CBSE) nor the failure of governance, as said evaluation policy has been formulated with a holistic approach and ensuring that no student is harmed. by streamlining internal student assessment performance and providing a semblance of parity between the assessment of different schools, the board said in its affidavit filed under the name of Examiner, CBSE, Sanyam Bhardwaj.
Attorney Rupesh Kumar, representing CBSE, said the board has taken all measures to ensure fairness of results and that no student will have any grievances regarding the assessment policy of class 10.
The affidavit states that the policy was prepared by a team of experts from schools and the CBSE and when preparing the program it was kept in mind that no school should be able to do an injustice. with students and grades will be assigned based on learning. of the student.
The result should not be higher than the best result of the last three results and while allowing moderation in the results committee, limits have been set, he said.
The court heard a petition from the NGO “Justice for All” claiming that the council’s policy for calculating grades for grade 10 students on the basis of internal assessment by schools was unconstitutional and should be changed.
On the NGO’s proposal that the board should arrange to download the electronic copy of the scoring system followed by the schools, the CBSE said the result prepared with the petitioner’s suggestions would damage the credibility and image of CBSE throughout the world, which would put students at a disadvantage. in the future.
He also said that to ensure a fair and impartial assessment, the assessment policy for class 10 states that each school should form a results committee made up of the principal and seven teachers to finalize the results, and out of the seven teachers, five would be from the school and two from neighboring schools.
The High Court has now put the case on August 6 to hear rebuttal arguments from the NGO’s lawyer.
Lawyers Khagesh Jha and Shikha Sharma Bagga, representing the NGO, had argued that the CBSE assessment policy for this year’s Class Council exam 10 did not include any grievance mechanism for students.
The board had stressed that this year, schools were free to have their own grading policy and that a student has no way of knowing how he was graded and therefore like in previous years, students should have access to documents on the basis of which the assessment is completed.
On June 2, the High Court requested a response from the Center, the Delhi government, and the CBSE to the NGO’s petition.
The advocacy stated that “the policy of moderating average grades assessed by the school, based on the historical performance of the school’s previous average score, in terms of better overall school performance would be an injustice to students because the performance of the school has no relation to the performance of the student. “
He also said moderating grades based on the overall district average, national and state averages “was absolutely unreasonable, illogical and punitive for students at a school that would appear for the first time in board exams ”, with no previous performance data.
The NGO alleged that it can also lead to trademark manipulation and exploitation, extortion of students and parents.
