With Covid-19 came the cancellation of Std XII exams. This, in turn, has led to each board trying to devise its own way of evaluating students without exams. With the initial euphoria of no exams gone, worries are arising over the aspect of uniformity, not just across boards, but also within a board, considering the wide demographic of students each board serves.

“What if the result is based on Std XI marks? I did not perform well.” “I am stressed about internal test scores from Std XII, I was busy preparing for entrance tests, so I decided to put in 100 per cent efforts for the final exams.” “My college held an online prelim, but due to no access to the internet, I missed the chance. What happens to my Std XII board result now?” With concerns like these, students’ and their parents’ worries are rising.
