CBSE allows students who failed in Class 9, 11 to appear for re-exam

CBSE has decided to give a never-before-seen opportunity for students of CBSE Class 9 and Class 11 students who have failed in their school exams by allowing them to appear for the school exams once more in these extraordinary circumstances surrounding the Covid-19 pandemic.

"This one-time opportunity is being extended only in current year in view of the unprecedented conditions of Covid-19. This benefit is a one-time measure and will not be extended in future," The CBSE notification clarified.

CBSE said that this opportunity for CBSE Class 9 and CBSE Class 11 students is applicable both for students who have already



appeared for their school-based final exams and whose exam results have been released, or in cases where the exams have not been completed due to the lockdown.

The re-exams that CBSE schools have to conduct for the CBSE Class 9 and Class 11 students who failed their school-based exams may be conducted online or offline or could be innovative tests.

The tests have to be conducted after providing remedial classes and the promotion of these students can be based on the re-exams or re-tests.

"Before holding the test, the schools will give sufficient time to the students to prepare," said the CBSE notification.
