3. If a candidate makes request to change the Centre of practical exams
If a CBSE Class 10, 12 students has moved to some other city/country due to coronavirus pandemic and requested CBSE to change the practical centre, then while uploading the marks of the batch of the candidate, “T” may be uploaded/posted on the link for uploading of marks against the name of such candidate.
4. CBSE warning to schools
On April 3, a statement was issued by CBSE saying that Post Graduate Teachers (PGTs) and Trained Graduate Teachers (TGTs) have been assigned lower classes and this has resulted in dearth of qualified teachers for evaluation of practicals and assessment of CBSE Class 10, 12 Board Exams 2021 students. The CBSE said that it will view the matter seriously and has asked all its affiliated schools to update names of all the teachers in the Online Affiliated Schools Information System (OASIS). “Quality teachers in sufficient quantity are required to complete both the activities qualitatively and successfully,” the board said.
