Delhi govt cancels exams for Classes 9 and 11; students to be evaluated based on mid-term scores

Delhi Education Minister Manish Sisodia has announced that the Class 9 and Class 11 examinations are cancelled. “Class 9 and 11 exams which were postponed on April 12 are now cancelled.

Private schools that conducted mid-term and annual exams before the lockdown, can declare the students’ results. Government, private and government-aided schools that have conducted only the mid-term exams and not the annual exams, will promote students based on mid-term exam scores,” Sisodia said. The Minister, in the press conference, presented guidelines for schools for marking students in Class 9 and Class 11, and also discussed the admissions process. “Schools that have not been able to conduct mid-term exams for all the subjects will release the result on the basis of best two subjects’ marks. Delhi government will release the result on June 22. Students will be able to see the result on the website, through SMS and WhatsApp. They will not have to go to the school for checking the result,” he added.

Students who could appear for either one or no exams will get a chance to take the exams once again. However, the exams will not be conducted in offline mode. Students will be assessed based on assignments and projects. The detailed guidelines will be released soon.
