Supreme Court Notes New CBSE Evaluation Policy for Gulf Private Class 12 Students
The Supreme Court acknowledged a new CBSE policy for private Class 12 students in seven Gulf countries whose board exams were cancelled due to the Iran-US conflict. Notified on June 21, the policy calculates marks for cancelled subjects using 40% of Class 10 theory marks and 60% of the last-attempted Class 12 theory marks. This addresses challenges faced by private candidates lacking internal assessment records. The court disposed of a petition by a Saudi student after his result was declared under this scheme, with an option to reappear in future exams if unsatisfied.
