CBSE Class 12th evaluation formula 2021: Delhi Education Minister Manish Sisodia has welcome the evaluation criteria adopted by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) to assess students of cancelled class 12 exams. Sisodia quoted in an official statement, as saying, "The decision to cancel the board exams was a welcome one, keeping in mind the safety and security of our 1.5 crore [15 million] Class 12 students. The evaluation criteria which we had suggested, looking at the performance of students in classes 10, 11 and 12 has been taken into account."
Meanwhile, the minister said that the government should consider cancelling the board exams a long time back, instead of waiting for the Supreme Court to intervene in the matter. "It is unfortunate that the Supreme Court and the state governments had to intervene and protest to cancel the board exams... Nevertheless, I am happy that this decision was finally taken," Sisodia added.
