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.

Point to be noted.. For long time people are in Darkness of this false story.. and many hindus are reading it and understanding the deception on this. and they even question.
if God cannot recognise his own son , then how can we accept him as God.
If God cannot fix with human head then how come we accept him as God.
If God cannot act aggressively with his own son, how can we accept him as God
Question to PONDER and know NA TASYA PRATIMA ASTI (There is no image of God) When VEDAS says it then people are mocking at God with such idiotic ideology which doesnt make sense... Please stay away from such ideology and Ponder on who is our CREATOR ... God will Guide those who are honest in their search.
May God help those who are HONEST to find the truth.
Please he his not god he is same like human being same like us.
we need to worship only one god. thats none other than allah. he is the creator all of us and entire world. you guys are worshiping stone. you know stone is created by god. we dont know how god looks. and yu guys celebrating ganesh chathurthi. i read about ganesh story parvathi the wife of shiva was getting ready for her bath and she needed someone to gaurd her. the young boy stand near entrance of the bathroom, while she was bathing shiva returned and was surprised to find little boy standing at the entrance. when shiva tried to enter. the little boy blocked his path. shiva asked who are you why are you blocking my path...? little boy answered no one enters bathroom my mother is taking her bath declared the boy boldly. shiva replied i have right to enter she is my wife . but young boy did not move but stood his ground. shiva not knowing that this was his own son , shiva who was quick anger grew enraged. little boy disobeyed shiva , he cut off the boy head. parvathi returning from her bath saw her son lying dead and overcome with grief. she was filled with both anger and sorrow.
shiva sent his soldiers to fetch the head of the first best they saw. the men rushed and finally come upon with elephant head. then shiva attached it onto the body of the little boy and gave him life once again . i have doubt in this story. y shiva dont know about his son.. is he born to shiva. why they fixed elephant head. why cant fix same human head. god god fighting. ha ha ha ha ha this is crazy. fully confused religion.
Its just an idol. Where is god. God is a creator not a creation.
The one who made the idol. He is more superior than the idol.
Quran says. Only the religion is acceptable is islam. No other religious book says so.
Muslims just deliver the message. They don't benefit anything. At the of end. They will be the loser.Only quran says earth is round. And finger print does not match with another finger.
Even zamzam water. Millions of people drink. It never felt short. Saudi is known for shortage of water. But zamzam water never dropped an inch.
Keep ur ego aside. Come to the true religion.
There is no Hindu God or Muslim God or Christian God or God for any other community...
God is ONE, Who created U ME and all that exists...
From Prophet ADAM to Ibrahim, to Moses to Jesus to Muhammad peace be upon them all are all the prophets of God who conveyed the one message to WORSHIP him alone and dont associate partners with him...
Search for TRUTH, If you are HONEST, U will find the TRUTH ... God's Guidance will reach YOU if U are HONEST and TRUTHFUL in searching for HIM...
Follow VEDAS (NA TASYA PRATIMA ASTI) rather than cheddis script...
(Temple & idols are made to oppose vedas)
U will be successful....
He reached his highest level, he does not need God, even if he teases God people accept it....God was there for him when he was zero....
