Only marks in first semester CBSE results
Representative Image. KOLKATA: Candidates of CBSE X and XII, who will write their first-semester exam from November, will only be given marks as results and not grades, said an instruction from the board. The grades will come in after kids complete both terms. The board also asked schools to withhold comments like pass/fail/compartmental when declaring results.
City schools said scores would not be final because kids will be tested only on 50% of the syllabus for first semester. “We will give comments like ‘excellent progress’, etc,” said Meena Kak, director of Lakshmipat Singhania Academy. “The scores will be declared in a very short time,” said Vijaylakshmi Kumar, principal of Asian International School.

Schools will have to complete practicals, internal assessments and projects for first semester before the written exams. Practicals will be conducted before November 30 and exams for minor subjects will start from November 16. Birla High School principal Loveleen Saigal said, “We hope to get directions on school reopening after Diwali and Chhath.”
