The Apex Court was approached by students earlier seeking intervention against the board exams which were to be held by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), Council for Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE), the National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS), and other state boards. They have also been researching alternative assessment methods for upcoming board exams for grades 10 and 12 instead of holding physical exams as proposed by various state boards, CBSE, and ICSE. Class 10 and 12 students from more than 15 states filed the plea asking for an alternative assessment method for the upcoming board exams demanding the cancellation of the 2022 offline board exams.
Various boards came up with alternative assessment criteria last year in the context of the current pandemic situation to assess students. The jury results were published based on internal reviews and a formula developed by the jury.
Meanwhile, the Central Board for Secondary Education (CBSE) has already released the dates for CBSE Class 10, 12 Term 2. According to the official schedule, Semester 2 exams will be held from April 26. Meanwhile, the Council of Indian Schools Certificate Examinations (CISCE) is likely to hold the ICSE Class 10 and ISC Class 12 exams during the last week of April.
