While ruling out Class 10 examinations for Secondary School Certificate (SSC) board, Education Minister Varsha Gaikwad on Friday said students will be evaluated through internal assessment for the academic year 2020-21.
Results will be announced by June end. Gaikwad told mediapersons that admissions to class 11 will be conducted physically through Common Entrance Test (CET) based on the class 10 syllabus. Those unwilling to appear for CET will
be admitted on the basis of their class 10 marks.
“These decisions were taken after a series of meetings with educational experts, policy makers, teachers and parents’ organisations. The process of internal assessment was discussed with all concerned authorities. We have held 24 meetings over the last few months,” she said. “Students will be assessed on 100 marks. The final results will take into account marks in all subjects,” she added.
