Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin on Saturday announced the evaluation criteria for class XII students in the state, giving 50 percent weightage to class X board examination scores. The government had earlier announced cancellation of exams to the Plus Two board for 2020-2021 due to the covid-19 pandemic. He has also announced how the Plus Two results will be computed this year.

An official release quoting Stalin said 50 percent weightage will be given to class X board exam marks (average of three subjects with high marks) while 20 percent (written in each subject) weightage will be accorded to Plus One board exam and 30 percent will be given to Class 12 practicals and internal assessment. The students who have failed in Class 11 will be given 35 percent marks.

The marks of each student will be computed in the above manner and published on the Department’s website by July 31 as per the order of the Supreme Court. In addition, the government said it would provide an opportunity to the aggrieved students, who otherwise felt they could have scored more had they written the exam, to appear for the test.
