More than 4,500 class 12 students belonging to Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) schools in Bihar have been promoted through grace marks. The School Results Committee has given relaxation of up to five marks to 4,655 students of 665 schools affiliated to the board.
Grace marks are given under the moderation policy, which has a provision to promote a student who is falling short of certain marks to pass. This decision will also increase the pass percentage of class 12 students in the state.
Apart from Class 12, around 4,400 students of Class 11 have also been promoted, who otherwise would have had to repeat the class. Out of the total 1,101 CBSE affiliated schools in the state, 547 schools used this moderation policy to promote 4376 students to class 12. As per the statistics, most of the schools were reporting around 8-10 students who needed Grace Marks.
While several state boards have cancelled their examinations due to the second wave of Covid-19, the Bihar School Examination Board (BSEB) conducted examinations in the state in March itself and the results were also declared last month. However, with the cancellation of CBSE board exams across the country, affiliated schools in Bihar were also affected. Now the students will be assessed on the basis of their last two years performance.
As per the rules, class 12 students will be given grades on the basis of aggregate marks obtained in class 10, class 11 and internal assessment of the current class. The marks of class 10 and class 11 will be given 30 percent weightage each. The remaining 40 percent marks will come from pre-board and other internal tests conducted in class 12th.
Apart from this, entrance examinations for courses like medical engineering and law were also postponed. According to reports, the postponed exams for May and June session of JEE Main 2021 may be conducted in July and August. The National Testing Agency (NTA) may conduct both these exams within 15 days in the end of July and the beginning of August. Apart from this, the application forms for NEET UG 2021 exam have also not been released on the official website yet.
However, students who are not satisfied with their results can opt for next year’s physical examinations.
