CBSE Official Notification For Assessment Scheme
A systematic approach - looking into the interconnectivity of concepts and topics by subject experts - will be followed.
The board will conduct the examinations at the end of each term on the basis of the bifurcated syllabus.
“This is done to increase the probability of having a Board conducted classes 10 and 12 examinations at the end of the academic session,” the CBSE statement read.
Regarding internal assessment, the board said, for Classes 9 and 10, throughout the year irrespective of terms 1 and 2, will include the three periodic tests, student enrichment, portfolio, and practical work/ speaking listening activities/ project. While for Classes 11 and 12, the internal assessment would include end-of-topic or unit tests/ exploratory activities/ practicals/ projects.
While the Term 1 Examination in a flexible schedule will be conducted between November-December 2021 with a window period of 4-8 weeks for schools situated in different parts of the country and abroad, Term 2 would be held around March-April 2022 at the examination centers fixed by the Board. The board, however, said it will assess and conduct the examinations, Term 1 and Term 2, considering the situation prevailing at that time.
CBSE, in the official statement, said, efforts will be made to make the internal assessment, practical and project work more credible and valid. Moderation Policy, the board said, will be announced to ensure fair distribution of marks.
Schools will also create a student profile for all assessments undertaken over the academic year and retain the evidence in digital format, CBSE added.
Highlights Of What CBSE Said On Board Exam:
- Regarding Term 1 exams, the question paper will have multiple-choice questions (MCQ) including case-based MCQs and MCQs on the assertion-reasoning type. The duration of the test will be 90 minutes and will cover 50 percent of the rationalized syllabus. Marks of the Term 1 exams will contribute to the final overall score of students.
- Regarding Term 2 exams, the board said, the question paper will include case-based, situation-based, open-ended short answer, and long answer type questions and will be held for a duration of two hours.
- In case the situation is not conducive for normal descriptive examination a 90-minute MCQ-based exam will be conducted at the end of Term 2 also, the board added. Marks of the Term 2 exams will contribute to the final overall score.
- In case the Covid situation improves and students are able to come to schools or centers for taking the exams, CBSE will conduct Term 1 and Term 2 examinations at schools or centers and the theory marks will be distributed equally between the two exams.
- If Covid's situation demands a complete closure of schools during November-December 2021, but Term 2 exams are held at schools or centers. Term 1 MCQ-based examination would be done by students online/offline from home - in this case, the weightage of this exam for the final score would be reduced, and the weightage of Term 2 exams will be increased for declaration of the final result.
- In case the situation of the pandemic forces complete closure of schools during March-April 2022, but Term I exams are held at schools or centers, results would be based on the performance of students on Term I MCQ based examination and internal assessments. The weightage of marks of the Term 1 examination conducted by the Board will be increased to provide year-end results of candidates.
- In case the situation of the pandemic forces complete closure of schools and Board conducted both Term 1 and 2 exams are taken by the candidates from home in the session 2021-22, results would be computed on the basis of the internal assessment, practical, project work and theory marks of term 1 and 2 exams taken by the candidate from home in Class 10 and 12 subjects to the moderation or other measures to ensure validity and reliability of the assessment.
