Earlier in June, the CBSE had released the new evaluation criteria for the assessment of the Class 10th Board Exams 2021. The evaluation criteria were announced as the class 10th board exams 2021 were cancelled in wake of the COVID-19 pandemic in the country.

In general, CBSE allots 80 marks for written exams and 20 marks for internal assessment. Now, as per the new evaluation criteria, schools will give 80 marks to students on the basis of the various internal assessments taken during the academic session.

Breakup of marks:

10 marks for Unit Tests

30 marks for half yearly exams

40 marks for pre-boards

If the school has undertaken more than one exam for each paper, the weightage will be given to each test, as decided by the schools. Further, schools will decide the distribution numbers if a student has appeared only in some exams or has taken both online and offline exams.
