Mumbai: A month after the Central Educational Council (CBSE) introduces two council tests – one in each semester – for grade 10 and 12 students for the academic year 2021-22, the Indian School Certificate Education Council (CISCE) has decided to take a similar route.
Cisce, on August 6, issued circular from a modified assessment plan for ICSE students (Class 10) and ISC (class 12).
One semester exam will be held online in November and will be based on multiple choice questions (MCQ).
The papers that will be determined by the board will cover 50% of the reduced syllabus, chief executive and Secretary of Gerry Arathoon stated in a circle.
The school is waiting for detail about the exam, including whether it will become Proctora.
The second semester of the exam can be online or offline in March-April, depending on the Covid-19 situation in this country, and can be subjective or objective.
This exam will cover the topic of the remaining 50% syllabus.
In Maharashtra, Cisce has more than 230 grade 10 and 50-odd schools.
“MCQ can be more challenging and much more difficult to score than subjective paper,” said Bombay Scottish Principal Sunita George.
The school is waiting for sample papers to understand the difficulty level of questions and will carry out internal tests based on MCQ before students take the first semester board.
The sign for the two board exam will be a sign of the maximum theory allocated for grade 10 (80/100) and class 12 (70/80).
The sign amplifier for the calculation of the final council results will be brought to half.
The sign for internal assessment (grade 10) and practical work / project (class12) will remain unchanged.
“The two inspection councils will allow students to cross the school to compete in the pandemic year,” said a principal.
This year, Cisce will also not carry out class IX and XI exams.
The exam for these students was last held by the council in 2019-20.
Before the exam was held by the school.
The Secondary Maharashtra State Council and medium secondary secondary secondary school said that the state must also produce an assessment plan for SSC and HSC students of this academic year.
“Schools have begun to test unit.
Except for a decrease in syllabus 25%, there is no clarity about how students will be evaluated this year,” said a principal of the State Council.
