Policy for Tabulation of Marks for Class X Board Exams 2021 - 01/05/2021

Due to the cancellation of the Board examinations, the assessment of 80 marks will be done by the school
- based on the marks scored by the candidate in the different tests/exams conducted by the school during the year, and
- the marks should be in consonance with the past performance of the school in Class X Board examinations.
The CBSE will consider the following exams for awarding the marks to candidate
Category of Tests/Exams Maximum Marks
Periodic Test/ Unit Test 10 Marks
Half Yearly/ Mid-term
Examinations 30 Marks
Pre-Board Examinations 40 Marks
Internal assessment 20 Marks
Total 100 Marks
In case schools have conducted more than one test/exam within each category, the result committee may fix the
weightage to be given to each test/exam within the category subject to the overall maximum marks for that category.
For example, if a school has conducted two or three pre-board exams it may decide to take an average of the three
exams, take the best performance in the three tests or give a weightage to each exam as considered suitable.
