The school education department has taken this decision with the aim of preventing the possible risk of infection and keeping in view the seriousness of the current situation in the interest of the students. The gathering of students in exam halls could result in uncontrolled transmission of virus.

In the event of corona infection becoming normal, information will be given 20 days prior to the new dates of examination.
The examination result of regular students of class 10th will be calculated by fixing surcharge of marks of half-yearly examination or pre-board examination, unit test and internal assessment.
Even the students who are unable to score a minimum of 33 marks in internal assessments would be granted grace marks and will be promoted to next class.
Although, those students who were unable to appear in any of the pre-board, unit test or mid-term examinations will be marked as fail and will have to repeat the class for next year.
As there is no provision for internal assessment for self-studying or private students and hence marks will be issued to all students with the minimum marks of 33.
