The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) term 1 exams will carry 30 per cent weightage and term 2 will have the remaining 70 per cent weightage in the final result calculation, claimed a recent circular viral across socia media platforms. The board has, however, clarified the notice is fake and no such announcement has been made. CBSE is yet to finalise the weightage of both terms in final result.
The board had divided the syllabus into 50-50 but the exact amount of marks dedicated to each term are yet to be notified by the board. It is likely that the weightage of both the terms will be declared during the time of announcement of the term 2 results. The final scores will be calculated on the basis of term 1, term 2, internal assessments, and practicals.

The fake notice started doing rounds on social media platforms amid ongoing debates among students and teachers and students about the weightage of each term. Several students have been demanding that the weightage of term 1 results be reduced due to the alleged cheating that took place in several schools.
While the board is yet to issue any statement on this, since in the first term students gave exams from their respective schools, there were reports that students got help from their teachers during the exam. As per the students, giving equal weightage to both terms would be unfair for those who did not cheat during the term 1 exams.
