Unsuccessful students of Classes
9 and 11 to get another chance
They will be reassessed on basis of projects for promotion
Students of Classes 9 and 11
who did not secure minimum qualifying marks in
one or more subjects in the
Common Annual School Examination (CASE) 201920,
will be reassessed on the basis of assignments or projects for promotion to the
next class, the Education Department has decided.
These project or assignments will be allotted to eligible students by August 7. It
needs to be submitted by August 18 and their results will
be declared online on August 28.
Lack of options
According to a senior government official, the decision was taken given a lack
of options for reexaminations due to the continuing
closure of schools across the
country due to the COVID19
pandemic, and the anxiety
being faced by students who
could not clear one or more
exams. While all students up
to, and including, Class 8
were promoted to the next
class following the nodetention policy, some students of
Classes 9 and 11 who could
not secure minimum qualifying marks in one or more
subjects have not been promoted.
“Being confined to their
houses, the students who
have not been promoted so
far would be anxious to get
clarity on the opportunities
they will get now to improve
their performance and if
eligible, be promoted to the
next class,” a circular issued
by the Examination Cell of
the Directorate of Education
stated.
“To clear the status of all
such students and relieve
them of any further stress or
anxiety, the competent
authority has decided to give
one last opportunity to all
such students to be assessed
through assignments/projects/school based test instead of conducting reexam,” it stated.
For this reassessment, the
subject teacher will allot
projects or assignments to
the students digitally and
talk to each student individually about how to attempt
it. These assignments or projects will be evaluated out of
a maximum of 40 marks.
Following the submission
of the project by students
through WhatsApp, email or
hard copy, if necessary, the
teacher will talk to each student again regarding how
they attempted it.
Private schools which
have not conducted reexaminations so far as per the
guidelines of the CBSE, the
circular also stated, can also
follow the same procedure
to assess their students.
“This will be a onetime
opportunity for students
who did not clear their respective exams which is being extended only in the current year due to the
unprecedented conditions,”
the official said.
