The board said that Class 12 results will be decided on the basis of performance in Class 10 (30% weightage), Class 11 and Class 12 (40% weightage).
The board said that a 13-member committee was constituted by the board to work on the Class 12 evaluation criteria after the government announced to cancel the board exams in view of the pandemic.

The board said that it will provide help by establishing a help desk in CBSE and also by providing software support in addition to several other supports to the committee in preparing the result.
In the case where any candidate is not satisfied with the assessment done, based on the policy, such candidates will be given an opportunity to appear in examinations to be conducted by the Board when conditions are conducive for holding the examinations.
"As per this policy, marks scored in the later examination will be considered as final," the CBSE submitted in the Supreme Court.
If there is an issue with any school in the implementation of the policy, the matter will be referred to a committee to decide the same, the board said in its affidavit.
The board said that it will declare the Class 12 results by July 31.
