All students those appeared for class 12 exams and want to make agriculture as their career and want to take admission in higher education has to understand that this year they have to face new challenges. As most of the agricultural universities take a student in their colleges as per their marks received in school education it is very important to know methodology adopted by CBSE board for awarding marks for remaining and non conducted subjects which canceled due to COVID-19 and how you can access and download your certificates Through Digilocker App, Umang Appand to get admission in agricultural colleges and universities.
Around 4 million students participated in CBSE exams for 2020. The exam result will be declared by 15th July 2020.
Let’s talk about it
Ist situation
Those students who have given all CBSE exams will get marks as per their performance in each subject. Their exam marks sheet will be made as to the previous year and according to their performance in each subject.
2nd situation
If in case students given exams for more than 3 subjects
The average marks they got in the best of three subjects will be awarded in the subjects for which the exam has not been conducted.
For Example, if a student has received the following marks in the subject for which exam conducted.
1. English – 92
2. Psychology – 90
3. Political Science -94
4. Physical Education- 91
And suppose sociology subject is left for which CBSE could not conduct exam than the student will get the following marks in Sociology Subject:
In sociology Subject student will get– Average marks of best of 3 subjects i.e. Political Science -94 + English -92 + Physical Education -91 = 277/3 = 92.33
So total marks will be awarded to the student for Sociology subject will be = 92.33
3rd Situation
If In case students only appeared for 3 subjects than average marks of the best 2 subjects will be awarded to students for the subjects for which exams were not conducted.
For example, you have given the exam of 3 subjects and obtained the following marks:
1. English – 92
2. Psychology – 90
3. Political Science – 94
Suppose Subjects for which no exam is done
Sociology and Physical education
In this situation, the student will get the following marks in Sociology and Physical Education
Calculation – Average marks of best of two subject – Political Science -94 + English -92 =186/2=93
So the following marks will be given for the following subjects:
1. Sociology – 93
2. Physical education – 93
4th Situation
In case the student could give only two or one subject exams then there marks will be based on their performance in board exams and pending subjects for which they couldn’t give exam will be assessed as per internal marks provided by his / her school.
For students coming under 4th situation will be allowed to give again exam if they are not satisfied with the results for internal marking of school. But chances of happening near future are very minimum and it may be conducted end of this year or next year.
