In a massive development, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has informed that if a student fails in any one of the three elective subjects, Science, Mathematics and Social Science, then the failed subject will be replaced by the 'Skill Subject (offered as a 6th additional subject).
As per the new rules, CBSE students will no longer fail the 10th CBSE Board Examinations. This decision has been taken by the board. This means that if the student gets good marks in the skill subject then it will be replaced with the failed subject. After this, their percentage will be calculated on the basis of five subjects. According to sources, this initiative of CBSE has been reportedly welcomed by the parents, students and teachers.
Earlier on December 31, Union Education Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal ‘Nishank’ announced that the upcoming CBSE examinations in India will be held between May 4 and June 10, 2021. Moreover, Pokhriyal asked the students to check the official CBSE website cbse.nic.in for final 2021 date sheets for both theoretical and practical board examinations. On the other hand, he stated that the results for the same will be declared by July 15, 2021. Speaking about the mode of examination, the Union Minister informed, "Many CBSE schools are in rural areas. Hence, online examinations are not possible."
Meanwhile, the CBSE practicals will be held for students of Class 12 who have been able to attend practical classes. However, since several students have complained that their schools have not been able to hold a single practical class physically, the board had earlier announced that it is exploring alternate modes for marking practicals. However, it has clarified reports claiming that the practicals will be held in January and February, stating that the reports are false.
