Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) declared results of compartment exams for class 10 on Monday.
According to CBSE, the pass percentage for the exam was at 56.55%. Out of the total 1,46,604 students who appeared for the exam, 82,903 passed it.
Last month, Supreme Court had asked CBSE to declare the compartment results as soon as possible and coordinate with the University Grants Commission (UGC) to enable around two lakh students appearing in these exams to apply in colleges in the current academic year.
Class 9, 11 students who missed compartment exam to be demoted
The UT education department decided to demote the students who missed the compartment exams for classes 9 and 11. However, another chance will be given to those who couldn’t take the exams due to valid reason, said UT school education director Rubinderjit Singh Brar.
“Some students had valid reasons for remaining absent, especially those who lived in containment zones. They will be given another chance,” he said.
Schools were asked to conduct compartment exams at the school level till October 9. Parents of the students who didn’t appear will have to submit in writing that they want their child to study in the same class again.
