Some students raised questions on the marking formula
During the hearing in the top court on Monday, some students have raised questions on the evaluation formula of the ISC 12th board by CBSE and CISCE and urged the board to conduct the physical examination.
Senior advocate Vikas Singh put his stands on behalf of the students in court that physical examination should be conducted as the positivity rate of COVID-19 is decreasing. He also said that even a senior teacher of Mathematics cannot understand the formula for evaluation of ISC 12th Board by CISCE, then how can students understand it?

Responding to this contention, Justice AM Khanwilkar said that the marking scheme of the Board of Education is not possible to be based on an individual point of view. If the evaluation scheme seems discriminatory, we can understand it more deeply. On this, the top court instructed CBSE and CISCE to clarify on the grievances of the petitioner with reference to the ISC 12th Board Exam evaluation policy.
