The state higher secondary council has announced that the students of Class XI will be evaluated on the basis of their performance in Madhyamik 2020.
The Class XI annual exams were scrapped because of the Covid pandemic and all students have been promoted to Class XII. The evaluation will not lead to the annulment of the promotion of any student, council officials said.
A notice uploaded on the council’s website on Wednesday says the average score of the best four subjects in Madhyamik will constitute the basis of evaluation in theory papers in Class XI. If the average score is 80 per cent in Madhyamik, the percentage will be weighted on 70 marks of the theory papers in science subjects in Class XI. The weighted score will be 56, said an official.
“The percentage in Madhyamik will be weighted on 80 marks for theory papers in humanities and commerce. The weighted score will be 64”.
In the 30-mark practicals in lab-based subjects and 20-mark projects in the other subjects, the schools will evaluate students on the basis of activity task or online assessment.
Some members of Collegium of Assistant Headmasters and Assistant Headmistresses met the president of the HS council, Chiranjeeb Bhattacharya, on Thursday and said the evaluation system was flawed. Bhattacharya said they will go through the complaint.
