CBSE Cancels Pending Board Examinations

The CBSE will not conduct the class 10th examination while the students of Class 12th will be given an option of appearing in exams after conditions are conducive, the Solicitor General told the Supreme Court on Thursday. The Class 12th students will get the option to appear in exams or take assessment based on past three exams. The assessment results will be out by 15th July 2020, the Solicitor General told the court. The centre will release a proper scheme of internal assessment by Friday. The matter has been adjourned to 26th.



The Supreme Court of India was hearing a plea filed by some parents whose children were to appear in the CBSE board exams. The top court had on 17th June 2020 asked the CBSE to consider cancelling the pending class 10th and 12th board examinations and allot marks on the basis of internal assessment.

Earlier, on Tuesday, CBSE had told SC that the deliberations for cancelling remaining Class 10 and 12 board exams are at an advanced stage and a final decision in this regard is likely to be finalised by Wednesday after which the bench of Justices AM Khanwilkar, Dinesh Maheshwari, and Sanjiv Khanna said they will wait for CBSE’s decision and deferred the next hearing to Thursday.

The parents had said in the plea that the board students could be exposed to COVID-19 infection if they appear for exams amid a rising number of coronavirus cases in India. They also stated that the CBSE has cancelled the exam of Class 10 and 12 for its around 250 schools situated abroad and the board has decided to award marks based on either practical exams or an internal assessment because of the Coronavirus pandemic.


The CBSE board exam was postponed due to the coronavirus lockdown. However, on May 18, the ministry of human resource development released a revised time table for the pending board exams.

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE Board) has today informed Supreme Court that CBSE Board pending Class 10, Class 12 Board Exam 2020 stands cancelled due to the COVID-19 outbreak in the country. 

Here are the details of the CBSE decision —
  •   The remaining exams of class X and XII of CBSE will not be conducted.
  •   The students will have an option to appear in the examination if they wish to but if they don't want to appear then their performance in the last two examinations will be considered to grant them marks.
  •   The option of appearing in exam will only be available to XII students and not for students of Class X.
  •   The exam date for XII students who want to take the test will be done when the atmosphere is conducive.
  •   The details of assessment for those students who do not want to appear for the test will be published by July 15.
  •  The decision was taken as many state governments had expressed an inability in conducting exams and as many schools have been converted into quarantine centers.
  •  CBSE will issue a new notification to quash it's earlier decision to conduct the examination from July 1 onwards.
  •  ICSE told SC that it is agreeable to the scheme proposed by CBSE and it will follow the same scheme.
