CBSE 10th Result 2021: Delhi HC issue notice to CBSE on plea seeking change in marking scheme

Delhi High Court has issued notice to CBSE on plea seeking change in CBSE 10^th marking scheme.

Delhi High Court has issued notice to the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), Centre and Delhi government on a plea seeking modification in policy for the tabulation of CBSE 10^th marks based on the internal assessment conducted by the school.

The petition filed by an NGO mentioned that the CBSE evaluation criteria to assess Class 10 students based on their performance in previous classes is "unconstitutional and in violation of the provisions of Articles 19(1)(a), 21 and 21A of Constitution of India. The contemplated policy by the board to access the performance is framed in such manner where the CBSE accessing the performance of school for last three years not the performance of the individual students and then links it with the performance of students".

CBSE had earlier announced that Class 10 students will be evaluated out of a total 100 marks for each subject. Of these, while 20 marks will be from internal assessment, 80 will be calculated from different exams conducted throughout the year. The board also stated that the marks awarded should be in consonance with the past performance of the school in Class 10 Board examinations.
