Exams in two terms for the first time
“Since 2020, school education has been severely hit because of the Covid pandemic. In 2020 and 2021, the Board declared the result of Class 10 and 12 based on the tabulation policy approved by the Supreme Court. During these two years, the Board did not have any data on the learning of students as it was unable to conduct exams. Once the activities of 2020 results were over, the Board started preparations for the 2021-2022 examinations, keeping in view the probability of continuation of the pandemic and the likely impact on studies and assessment of the students of Classes 10 and 12,” said Sanyam Bhardwaj, CBSE controller of examinations.
Bhardwaj said that the Board conducted the 2022 examination in two terms for the first time in its history.
“Covid, non-conduct of classes, holding examination two times, conducting an objective type examination, getting replies on optical mark recognition (OMR), evaluation by schools and other aspects made this session special. Hence, it cannot be compared with any of the previous sessions,” he said.
