How will students who don't appear for exams be graded, HC asks CISCE

MUMBAI:

Bombay high court

on Wednesday told Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE) to present its methodology for alternative grading for classes X and

XII students

who opt not to physically appear for exams in pending papers.


The methodology has to be placed before court on June 22, a deadline set earlier by CISCE. Once approved, students can exercise their option till June 24, the court indicated. A bench of Chief Justice

Dipankar Datta

and Justice S S Shinde heard a PIL by advocate Arvind Tiwari, a parent of a class X student, against exams in July.

On June 14, CISCE said students can take the exams or have results based on pre-board exams and results of board exams in subjects they had written.

Advocate general

Ashutosh Kumbhakoni

, said the state was opposed in principle to exams being held, but it will take a call depending on number of students who opt to physically take it.
