No third attempt for students who have missed two phases of CBSE exams

The Class 10 and 12 second term board examinations being conducted by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) will continue till mid-June and around 35 lakh students from across the country have registered for these exams.

The CBSE introduced a two-term system during the Covid-19 pandemic period. However, the students who neither appeared in the first term examinations nor appeared in the second term would not get a third chance. Even these students will also not be allowed to appear in the compartment examinations. They have to repeat the same class again and sit in examinations to be held in the next academic year.

It is worth noting that the board examinations are being conducted by CBSE in two different phases, which comprises 50 per cent syllabus in each term. The first stage was conducted during the month of November-December 2021.

According to CBSE’s controller of examinations Sanyam Bhardwaj, in the second phase or term, the examinations for



Class 10 and 12 are being conducted in one shift.

The board has also prepared guidelines regarding the compartment exam eligibility and results for the board exams. However, if a student has completed one stage of the examinations and could not appear for the second stage due to Covid, special methods of evaluation can be made available for such students. According to CBSE, options will be available to such students and they will not be kept in the category of essential repeat.

Bhardwaj has said that due to Covid, the board examinations have been divided into two parts. Its purpose was that if any one phase of examinations could not be taken due to Corona, then the results of the students could be issued on the basis of the second phase examinations.

The board has made arrangements for revaluation of the students who are dissatisfied with the result. An online portal will be activated for this. The portal will be active for 2-3 days after the release of the result.
