It said the marks obtained by class 12 students in practical and internal assessment on actual basis as uploaded by schools on CBSE Portal will be also considered in deciding final results.
"Students who are not satisfied with marks can appear for physical examinations. We'll start online registration to know exact number of applicants," Sanyam Bhardwaj, Examination Controller, CBSE added.
Result date
During the hearing, Attorney General of India, said that the declaration of results will be done by July 31, 2021.
Class 10 results will be declared most likely by July 20 and Class 12 by July 31.
AG KK Venugopal told Supreme Court that there may be a moderation committee to look into the difference in marking mechanism adopted by various schools to put all students as far as the awarding of final marks for class 12 is concerned.
