CBSE Class 10, 12 Offline Exams 2021: Know who can appear

CBSE has released a notification mentioning students who can appear in Class 10, Class 12 optional and compartment examinations, which will be held in August-September in offline mode.

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) released a notification mentioning students who can appear in CBSE 10^th, 12^th optional and compartment examinations, which will be held in August-September in offline mode. The board has also released date sheets for these exams, along with exam dates for private and patrachar students. The students whose results have been declared as ‘Pass’ but are dissatisfied with the assessment and want to improve their scores can take the optional exams. However, if they take the written exam, marks obtained in it will be termed final.

Those students who were not able to meet qualifying criteria in one or two subjects and are placed in the compartmental category can take the compartment exam.

Regular students, whose results could not be calculated with the assessment policy (non-computable cases), can appear in the improvement exam.

Also, students who are termed as ‘6th subject cases’ meaning students who had appeared for the six subjects and declared pass, but could not clear any one of the five main subjects can take the exam.
