Why 30:70 for result when the syllabus was 50:50?

One ‘experiment’ after another, from having two term exams in a year to have changed the result calculation policy that too in a year when students had to attend most of their classes in online mode, board aspirants claim they were treated as ‘lab-rats’ by the board.

One of the students has written a letter to Delhi Commission for Protection of Child Rights claiming that students, especially those weak in academics, were hit by the online classes and then subjected to two exams in a year and both with different exam pattern has impacted their performance. The letter sought relief for students and hence calculation of results based on either term. This means, adding the highest score obtained by students in either of the two terms to give them an advantage.

Parents too have written to CBSE, asking to revise their result calculation formula. Odisha Parents’ Federation in a letter asked CBSE why the board said it will declare results based on 50:50 weightage first if it had to change the formula later. It also asked the board why it issued a statement saying the news of 30:70 formula for final result is false, if it had finalised on the same.
“How can CBSE change its marking scheme after exams?.” asks the letter. “As per students, they had found 8 months to prepare for term 1 exams and only 2-3 months for term 2. So they have secured more marks in term 1,” it added.
“Earlier CBSE said it will give 50-50 weightage to each term and hence kids planned (their studies) accordingly. Such news should have confirmed at least students and parents could be prepared before term 2 exams,” said the parents’ body claiming that it is “cheating” on parents and students. “CBSE shall allow aggrieved students to get their marks as per 50-50 weightage, others can continue existing marks,” asked the parent body.
