CBSE (Central Board of Secondary Education) has extended the concession given to the 10th Standard on their public examination marks. From the academic year 2017-18, the system of public examination was introduced for 10th Standard.
As the students were accustomed to the old examination system as conducted by the respective schools, they were stunned on the public examination announcement and were not completely ready. So, in order to maintain the current success record of the students not to be disturbed, CBSE ordered some concession on the marks for the 10th Standard Public Examinations.
According to this concession, the condition that the 10thStandard students needed a minimum score of 33% in each subject and again, 33% in the internal assessment to pass was relaxed for the academic year 2017-18 alone.
The revised concession was that the 10th standard students needed 33% combining both the examinations and the internal assessment for the year 2017-18 only and it was clearly mentioned that this concession would be just for the 1 year alone. However, there were demands from several quarters that this concession must be extended for this year as well/
Subsequently, CBSE has accepted this demand and has announced that the above concession as 33% as a minimum mark combining the examinations and internal assessment will be extended for the current academic year (2018-19) as well.
The Examination Control Board official, Sanam Bhardwaj, has sent a circular regarding this to all the regional CBSE offices.
