The Central Board of Secondary Education asked its schools to conduct the pending practicals and internal assessments as a part of evaluating marks of 12th standard students. The board also suggested to perform practicals in online mode and submit marks by Monday.

The board also sent in a letter to schools on June 7 saying that schools who have not been able to complete the school-based assessments in various subjects due to COVID-19 should do to as soon as possible before June 28. CBSE Examination Controller Sanyam Bhardwaj had said that 'no extension' of the last date of uploading marks will be done. Notably, the CBSE in February asked affiliated schools to conduct Class 10 and Class 12 practical exams, internal assessments and projects between March 1 and June 11. Meanwhile, the board had also directed schools to reconduct the practical exams for students who were not able to appear due to infection. Hereby, some schools had already completed the assessment yet some could not as they had to remain close in view of the second wave of coronavirus.

Earlier, the CBSE Class 12th board exams were cancelled on June 1. Subsequently, the Board formed a panel that decided to evaluate students based on their results in class 10, 11 and 12. The evaluation was in the way where 40% of the marks will be based on the Class 12 unit test/mid-term/pre-board, 30% marks will be based on Class 11 final exam and 30% marks will be based on best-of-three Class 10 marks. This method of evaluation will remain only for theory, for practicals, students will be marked out of 100.
