Chhattisgarh board releases evaluation criteria for Class 10: Report

NEW DELHI: Chhattisgarh Board of Secondary Education (CGBSE) has released the criteria for awarding marks to CGBSE Class 10 students. Students of CGBSE Class 10 will be promoted to the next class on the basis of the internal assessment. The CGBSE regular students who were unable to appear for the practical exams will be awarded minimum marks to pass the exam, as per The Indian Express report.

“Regular students who were not able to appear for practical exams or projects due to COVID-19 will be awarded minimum marks required for passing. Class 10 results will be prepared based on internal assessment. Hence, in every theory subject, a maximum of 72 out of 75 marks will be awarded. Similarly, for theory exams of additional subjects, a maximum of 29 out of 30 can be awarded and 68 out of 70 will be valid for practical exams,” the official notification stated, as per The Indian Express.

The self-study students will also be given the minimum marks to pass in the practicals and projects. In case the students are not satisfied with their marks, they will be given a chance to appear in the exams once the ongoing situation normalises.

“If a student has not completed the assignment work or has not achieved the minimum marks required, then such students will be awarded passing marks. Further, if a student is dissatisfied with the awarded marks, then they shall be given an opportunity to appear for the exams when the COVID-19 situation improves,” VK Goyal, secretary, CGBSE, had said in an official statement, the report added.

Earlier, the Chhattisgarh board cancelled CGBSE 10th exams due to the rise of COVID-19 cases. CGBSE exams for Class 10 were scheduled to be conducted from April 15 and May 1, 2021.
