New Delhi, Jun 16: The class 10 and 12 students of the CICSE board can choose not to appear for pending board exams and be marked as per their performance in pre-board exams or internal assessment, according to top officials.
The board had also submitted the proposal before the Bombay High Court on Monday in response to a petition filed by a parent seeking directions to the authorities to cancel exams in view of the spike in COVID-19 cases.
According to Gerry Arathoon, Chief Executive and Secretary, Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE), the students will have to communicate their option to their respective schools by June 22.

The exams which were postponed due to the lockdown to contain the spread of coronavirus, are now scheduled to be conducted from July 1 to 14. However, several parents have been demanding the exams be scrapped.
"The students will be given two options---they either appear for the rescheduled exams or choose to have their results based on their performance in the pre-board exams or internal assessment. The option will be available only for the pending exams, the result of the subjects for which exams were already conducted, will be calculated as per performance in the exam only," Arathoon said.
The board also clarified that the students will not be entitled to make a subject-wise choice between the two options for pending exams.
Unlike the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), which will only be conducting exams in 29 subjects crucial for promotion and admission to higher educational institutions, the CISCE will be conducting all pending exams.
The pending CBSE exams are scheduled from July 1 to 15. The schedule for the board exams has been decided in order to ensure that they are completed before competitive examinations. While the engineering entrance exam JEE-Mains is scheduled to be held from July 18 to 23, the medical entrance exam NEET is scheduled for July 26.
While the CBSE has given the option to not appear for pending board exams for differently-abled students, it has canceled the examinations for its around 250 schools situated abroad and has adopted the criteria of awarding marks on the basis of either practical exams conducted or the internal assessment marks.

A group of parents has filed a petition in the Supreme Court seeking a direction to the CBSE to declare results on the basis of tests already conducted, and calculate the total on an average basis with internal assessment marks of the remaining subjects.
Universities and schools across the country have been shut since March 16, when the Centre announced a countrywide classroom shut down as part of measures to contain the COVID-19 outbreak. A nationwide lockdown was announced on March 24, which came into effect the next day.
While the government has eased several restrictions, schools and colleges continue to remain closed.
According to Home Ministry guidelines, there will be no exam centres in containment zones.
"Wearing of face masks by teachers, staff and students will be mandatory. There shall be provisions of thermal screening and sanitiser at the centres and social distancing rules will have to be followed at exam centres. Special buses may be arranged by states and UTs for transportation of students to exam centres," the Home Ministry has said.

Dear Satya Vishwas...
U are right but what We muslims need to Present the TRUE message of ISLAM to the public as well as the cheddis .. cos they are carrying in their mind the ISLAM which is taught by the Cheddis.. which is dumping them deep into darkness (hate, jealousy, crime, looting, lies and etc) as well as the society.
So we should educate whatever way to spread the real msg of ISLAM to the cheddis as well as the non muslims ...
When we present the true message atleast few may reflect who are honest.. in their hearts. ALLAH guides those who are honest in looking for God.
Why CD readers bother about this Phycho person;(Phycho Viren) this man must be admitted Kankanady hospital for his brain wash in Vande dot CLOREX muthram.
dear all CD readers : please do not react , or comment to viren kotian just neglect him,BECAUSE HE IS DEPLOYED by RSS to ignite and provoke minorities, so if we react to his inhumane comments he and his dirty mind followers enjoy it.And they are successful in their mission, and also he get highlighted , so why to give him unnecessary (un) popularity.
REMEMBER THAT IF YOU THROW A STONE AT LOOSE SHIT (VIREN) IT SPREADS ALL OVER .
so lets not waste our valuable time by arguing with the inhuman viren.
Viren Kotian , seeing your comments i understand that a deluded understanding is giving such a buncombe, please understand such swaggering appears unarmed for a rational discussion.
kindly refrain
Vande matram means cheddis bow down to the mother land...
What islam says
ALLAH is the lord of all that exists, U me and all that is in between the earth and the skies..
We Muslims bow down to ALLAH alone and nothing else , Even not to our respected prophets or our mother who gave birth to us...
We love our prophets,
We love our mother
We love our mother land
but we will never worship our mother land...
ALLAH created us and We bow down to him alone.. Please dont ask me to bow down to the motherland which is also a creation of ALLAH...
ALLAH forgives every sin with true repentance but associating partners with him is the biggest SIN... which is a way to hell and Please dont drag us Muslims to that destination... Sorry I believe ALLAH as my lord, Muhammad pbuh and all the prophets as my messenger and Islam as my religion....
Please VIREN when U worship the mother land, U actually denying the TRUE GOD ... I request U to look who is our CREATOR which VEDAS also mentions \NA TASYA PRATIMA ASTI\" there is no image of GOD...
IF you are honest in looking for the CREATOR , God will Guide U ... Atleast make some effort to look for the creator of all that exists.. Dont just worship the man made creations and animals and live a life unaware.. QURAN challenges mankind to bring a book like it... Please go thru it."
No one can become patriot just saying vande matram, this is crazy....we Muslims cannot do that...its against our religion...but in fact we will fight for our country without any hesitation.....and save country from our enemies.....
Hello joker Viren......a lot of bharat maa ki jai sons are also living happily with their family's in Muslim countries and they respect and are thankful to those people. Some goons like you will let Islamic nations kick them out of there.......you sick-minded will let people hate each other...saffron pillas....why don't modi offer job and respect to the people who say jai jai and are still working in Islamic nations.......u don't belong to a democratic nation.......go to your country Nepal....ha haa
Viren Kotian, how could you say, the person who doesn't sing Vande Mataram is not be Indian!!!
You must know its not our National Anthem and its an individual personal choice.
I don't understand why CD post such nonsense Viren Kotian comments!!
Viren, I think you don't have any knowledge of our Indian constitution!!
Bharat Mata har ek Hindustani ki hai, aur Akbar ek hindustani hai, apne desh se madad maang raha hai, samajh is baat ko. and
don't ever bring communal things in humanity!!!
Mr. Kotian why so much hatred on muslim relegion, we are human beings, remember that.. we are indians here we don't treat each other as HINDU's or MUSLIM's.. Try to be peace lover My Dear Friend..
Bharath kisi ke baap ka nahi. The slogan made purely illogic for any religion including hindus which is against the holy scriptures. Will you and your millions of hindu brothers say La ilaha illallah mohammedurrasulullah while entering in arab countries to earn their bread and butter.
Dear viper kotian if u sing vande maataram r u getting 15 lac from your govt? Then why u r singing r u mad?
Viren kotian.
Its haraam to say vande mataram according to vedas. Hindu is not a religion. Arabs gave the word hindu. U should be thankful to arabs.
Rama couldnt save his own wife sita from kidnap. How can he save u.
Ask any pandit. He will runaway from u.
The religion is sanatan dharm. Nowadays nobody knows a single word of it.
Habeebi viren, dont worry we will try to help him out.. If you are not sleeping then try to see the problems of those who sing vande mataram and still not came out of it. I doubt the govt helps them.
Indian govt should help this guy.
Viren - stop talking nonsense ( as usual )
What is Indian embassy doing around.....they got a lot money of expatriates collected during passport renewal time....millions of them...couldn't they use part of it to get this person come out of his ordeal...
You are not ready to sing 'vande mataram' but when you get stranded in a Muslim country you need bharat maatha's hindu govt's help. Funny people.
