The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has announced a hybrid assessment method for Class 12 students in the Middle East following the cancellation of board exams due to the prevailing conflict situation in the region.
The board will declare results of nearly 23,000 Class 12 students in over 200 CBSE-affiliated schools across seven West Asian countries using a formula-based evaluation that combines actual exam performance with school-based assessment.
For subjects where exams have been conducted, actual performance in the examination will be taken into account for declaration of results. For the remaining subjects, marks will be derived from school assessments, including the 'best of the three' marks obtained in quarterly, half-yearly and pre-board examinations.
The board has clarified that internal assessment and practical components will remain unchanged, as the marks have already been submitted by schools.
Students who were able to appear in all their registered subjects will have their results declared based entirely on their written examination performance, while those who shifted centres to other countries, including India, will also be assessed on the basis of their actual exam scores.
