The Punjab School Education Board (PSEB) has cancelled the pending class 12 board exams. Now, the result will be declared on the basis of the exams which have been conducted already, an official from the board informed indianexpress.com.
Following the trend started by the CBSE, now PSEB has also decided to evaluate students’ performance based on the best three criteria. Among the exams which have been conducted, the average of the highest three marks of a student will be calculated and the score will be given on the basis of the same. The formulae were decided by an expert committee, the source informed.
Earlier, candidates had to secure 33 per cent marks in each subject as well as in practical and theory separately to be considered passed, however, as per the new rule, students have to secure at least 20 per cent marks in practical and theory section and 33 per cent combined in each subject to be considered as pass.
“If any student has appeared in the exams in only three subjects, the average of the marks obtained in best two performing subjects will be awarded in the subjects whose examinations have not been conducted,” Singla said while elaborating the best performing subject formula.
He said the marks of practical subjects and on the job training for vocational subjects would also be awarded on this basis.
