AHMEDABAD: The Gujarat education department has not followed the CBSE model for tabulating marks for Class 10, based on the internal assessment by schools.
According to the state government guidelines, schools are to evaluate students based on Class 10 and Class 9 results. In the case of the CBSE, only Class 10 internal exams’ marks are to be considered for evaluation.
“One of the reasons for this decision is that many Class 10 students in rural areas would have missed online education,” said a source in the Gujarat Secondary and Higher Secondary Education Board (GSHSEB). “As a result, they would not have been able to take the unit tests or internal exams during the past year.”
State education minister Bhupendrasinh Chudasama recently said in a statement that the state government will follow the central government’s guidelines. He said this while declaring the government’s decision to cancel Class 12 state board exams.
The CBSE’s tabulation policy was released last month. Under it, the internal assessment of 20 marks will be done in line with the existing policy of the board. The assessment of the remaining 80 marks for each subject will be done by the schools, the CBSE said.
Each school will have to form a results committee consisting of the principal and seven teachers for finalizing the results.
“According to the information collected from the schools through the regional offices of the CBSE, schools have conducted different types and number of tests/exams,” the CBSE said. It added that periodic or unit tests, half-yearly or mid-term exams, and pre-board exams will be used for school-based assessment.
If schools have conducted more than one test, the results committee may fix the weightage to be given to each exam, it said. The committee will also take the final decision if exams for any or all the categories were not conducted.
According to the GSHSEB’s tabulation policy, the Class 10 results will be prepared out of 100 marks for each subject.
