Those students staying in the containment zone and were not able to appear for the UK Board Exams 2020 will be marked on the bases of the average marks.
The Uttarakhand Board of Secondary Education (UBSE) has announced that the students who could not appear for UK Board Examinations 2020 for UK 10th exam and UK 12th exam, staying in the containment zone or home quarantine, will be marked on the bases of the average marks. The Board had earlier announced that it will not be conducting the remaining Class 10 and 12 exams in the areas that fall under coronavirus containment zones.
According to the UBSE board exams date sheets 2020, the UK 10th and UK 12th examinations were scheduled to begin from March 2 and conclude on March 25. However, it was postponed due to the coronavirus outbreak in the country. As per the revised UK 10th Date Sheet 2020 and UK 12th Date Sheet 2020, the remaining examinations were later conducted from June 20 to 23.
The Board said that the students who could not appear for the examination, will also be given the chance to appear for the exams for the missed subjects, within one month after the result is being announced.
As per the order issued by the R Meenakshi Sundaram, secretary for school education in the state, students who have appeared in four exams, will be marked based on three best performing subjects. Similarly, students who have appeared for three exams will be marked on best of two subjects; those who have appeared will be marked on one subject.
Neeta Tiwari, secretary for Uttarakhand Board of Secondary Education told a media house, “The students will be marked on the bases of average marks scored by them for the subjects that they have missed. Students will also be given the option to appear in the exam for the subject that they have missed if they are not satisfied with the average marks."
However, she added that students will have to appear for a re-exam within one month of the result being declared and “the marks that students secure in the re-examination will be the final marks and no changes will be allowed thereafter.”
Tiwari said that students appearing for only one subject is very rare and they mostly comprise of people registering for single subjects to improve their academic profile.
“Those appearing for only one subject are mostly working professionals who want to improve their academic profile. This will not affect most of the students who have their careers ahead and a delay in results can impact that, therefore we will be following the average based marking system,” added Tiwari.
Thousands of students have appeared for the UK Board Examination 2020 and they are eagerly waiting for the UK Board Result 2020. Last year, the UK Board announced the UK 10th Board Result and UK 12th Board Result on the same day.
