CBSE restricts school-based assessment to online

A week after the cancellation of the Class 12 board examinations, the Central Board of Secondary Education on Monday allowed schools to complete the pending practicals and internal assessment in online mode. “Regarding subjects for which the external examiner has not been appointed, the concerned school teacher of the subject will conduct the internal assessment based on the instructions given in the curriculum in online mode and upload the marks awarded at the link provided by the board,” CBSE controller of examinations Sanyam Bhardwaj said in a letter to schools on Monday. Only if any state government has allowed students to come to schools, principals may call such students to conduct the tests.” On June 1, the Union government cancelled the Class 12 board exams of around 1.4 million students slated to take their tests this year. While most private schools in the capital finished conducting their practicals before the April 19 lockdown was announced in Delhi, several government school principals said they were yet to conduct practical exams for major papers like Chemistry, Biology, and Commerce. Students have been doing online classes for over a year so the online internals makes sense.” Most private school principals said that they had conducted the practicals and internal assessment in the major subjects and only had practicals pending in minor subjects like Yoga or Physical Education.
