The prospects of the second term of the board examination being cancelled this year are small, given that health experts have previously stated that the third wave has been contained.

Students who choose to forgo the tests, on the other hand, will be graded on the basis of their first-term test results. The duration of the second phase of exams will be of two hours and the questions will be subjective.

Dr. Joseph Emmanuel, Academic Director of CBSE, said: “The sample question papers and the marking schemes for Term 2 examinations of Class 10 and 12 have been released on the website and the schools affiliated to CBSE Board have been alerted too.” Sanyam Bhardwaj, CBSE’s controller of examinations, said: “If the situation gets worse, only then the second term of examinations will not be held. Marks obtained in the first phase will beconsidered final and based on them, the results will be prepared. But if such a situation does not arise and the second term is held successfully, the final result will be decided on the basis of 50 50 per cent marks of these two terms.” Both the Union Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Health are paying special attention to the vaccination of students between the 15-18 years of age group so that they can appear for the board exams safely.

Pankaj Rathore, principal of Seth Jaipuria School, said: “The preparation for the exam and the Covid situation has made children used to the hybrid mode of learning. School’s new method of evaluation will help us move beyond the traditional notions of assessment. Schools must keep up with the situation and ensure that students are well prepared for pre board and board exams. He added: “Offline classes are being planned for these children after immunisation of the 15-18 years age group is complete.

Vaccination camps within the school premises will help the children feel at home. It is important to observe the students for a few days after vaccination as their health is our top priority.” Talking about the children’s health being the first priority, the Ministry of Education said that the CBSE Board exams will be held while strictly adhering to all the exams will be held while strictly adhering to all the Covid protocols. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is soon going to do a show called “Pariksha Pe Charcha for which more and more students, teachers and parents are being encouraged to register.

According to the Ministry, this year the format of this programme has been proposed to be kept online like last year. An online creative writing competition on various topics is being organised from December 28 to January 20 to select the participants. The questions asked by the selected winners will be included in the ‘Pariksha Pe Charcha programme. School students, teachers and parents of Classes 9-12 students will be selected through an online competition.
