CBSE has reduced the CBSE syllabus 2021 by 30 per cent amid the ongoing pandemic but no change has been made in the passing marks which remain at 33 per cent in each subject.
Amid the various announcements related to the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) Boards examinations 2021 for 10th, 12th being made by the Education Ministry, there are certain fake exam-related claims being circulated online.
As per the recent false claim, the Class 10 and Class 12 students need to score only 23 percent to qualify the exam instead of the usual 33 percent. However, The Press Information Bureau (PIB) has debunked this claim and clarified that no such change has been made to the CBSE 2021 board exam rules.
The Bureau took to its official Twitter account to clarify that this claim is fake and has informed the authorities about the same. PIB tweeted, “Claim: In a post on social media, it is being claimed that the passing marks in board exams 2021 for Classes 10 and 12 have been reduced from 33 percent to 23 percent. PIB fact check: This claim is fake, the Education Minister has made no such announcement”.
CBSE has reduced the CBSE syllabus 2021 for Classes 10th and 12th by 30 per cent and has no plans to reduce the passing percentage. The CBSE board exams 2021 will begin on May 4 and end by June 10. The CBSE datesheet is expected to be released soon. The schools have been allowed to conduct their board exam practicals from March 1.
