This is the first time that CBSE declared the result without conducting any examination based on the alternative marking scheme.
Madhu Singh, principal of Billabong High International School, said, “CBSE results should not be considered as results without exams. This has been a landmark year where the continuous performance of the child over the three academic sessions has been considered. If this system is brought into the mainstream, it will focus more towards giving our students consistent performance rather than waiting for an exam that will certify their credentials. ”
Singh also said that the children were unaware about the current format being adopted by CBSE, so those who took their Class XI exams less seriously could lose some marks. Those who consistently perform well need not worry.
Bharti Bhagwani, principal of GG International School, said, “Uncertainty will always be there, even if the pandemic has run its course. It is up to us whether we choose to conquer or retreat. Conducting frequent exams, continuous online sessions and constant counselling, ensuring emotional connect at the most important academic moments in the lives of students was a leap of faith for all. Still, the adaptation and ensuing transformation amongst the young GGIians was even more spectacular.”
