Cuttack: As the Odisha government has cancelled the annual Matric examination in view of the alarming surge in COVID-19 cases, the Board of Secondary Education (BSE) on Friday finalized the alternative evaluation method for announcement of results.
Evaluation will be done on the basis of marks secured in half-yearly and annual exams for Class IX students, and marks obtained in second, third and fourth practice tests for Class X students.
Emphasis will be given on 40 per cent marks of Class IX and 60 per cent marks of Class X.
The Board also said that if a Class X student has not appeared in any practice test, evaluation will be done on basis of marks he/she has secured in Class IX annual examination. But if a student has appeared in at least one practice test, 70 per cent of the marks he/she has secured in Class IX annual exam will be taken into consideration.
