The plea has been filed by the Class 10 and 12 students of over 15 states. The plea seeks an alternative assessment method for the upcoming CBSE board exams 2022.
Last year, the CBSE, CISCE, and other state boards had decided to evaluate students on the basis of alternative assessment criteria. The students were evaluated on the basis of internal exams and a formula devised by their respective boards.
The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) announced the dates for Class 10 and 12 Term 2 exams. The term 2 exams are scheduled to be held from April 26.
Meanwhile, the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE) is likely to conduct the ICSE Class 10 and ISC Class 12 exams in the last week of April. However, the detailed timetable will be released shortly.
