Practical marks or internal assessment will be a major component in results. CBSE while announcing two board exams for term 2 had said that it will give more emphasis to year-long internal assessment this year. Further, the final result will be based on term 1, term 2, and internal assessment. While CBSE has not specified which section will have how much weightage, students are demanding that high weightage should be given to internal assessment.
According to CBSE, for class 10 students the internals will include three periodic tests, student enrichment, portfolio, and practical work, speaking listening activities. For classes 11 and 12 the internal assessment will include unit tests at end of every topic, exploratory activities, practicals, and projects.
While it was mandatory for students to take both term 1 and term 2 exams, CBSE has announced that it will compute results for students, even if they have missed either term 1 or term 2 board exams. If a student is absent in both term 1 and term 2, then the board will not be able to compute results for the students. Such students will have to appear for the exam next year.
