12th Board Exams 2021: SC directs state boards to declare results by July 31

The Supreme Court directed all state boards to declare Class 12 results 2021 based on internal assessments by July 31. Each board was free to formulate its own evaluation method for students.

The Supreme Court directed the state boards to declare Class 12 results by July 31 based on internal assessments. It said that there cannot be a uniform criterion for evaluating students across boards and that each board was autonomous and free to formulate its own evaluation method for students.

The Court directed the state boards to ensure that the evaluation scheme is formulated at the earliest and not later than 10 days from June 24.

“We direct the boards to ensure that the scheme is formulated at the earliest and not later than 10 days from today and also declare the internal assessment results by July 31, 2021, like the timeline specified for CBSE and CISCE,” the bench said in its order.

“That be done expeditiously. In addition, the scheme must provide for a mechanism for redressal of grievance of students after the declaration of results as done by the CBSE and CISCE,” the bench said.
