Minister Nagesh said, one girl student who was absent for the examination has failed. As many as 6 per cent students who secured 'C' grade in SSLC exams have been granted grace marks and promoted, he added. The examinations were conducted through Karnataka Secondary Education Examination Board (KSEEB). For those who did not attend exams, KSEEB is giving them another opportunity to write exams.

As no examination was held this year owing to the Covid situation, the council had announced the results based on an evaluation system in which 18,000 students had failed. "Our government is humanitarian. So all the candidates who had enrolled for the Higher Secondary examination have been awarded pass marks considering the Covid situation," said Mahua Das, President, WBCHSE.

The Minister said that class 12 students will get their results according to their merit through the new evaluation process decided by the CBSE.

"If a student is not satisfied with the new evaluation system they don't need to worry about it since we are ready to conduct optional board exams for such students."

According to the CBSE evaluation criteria, Class 12 results will be evaluated on the basis of 30:30:40 ratio. This involves the performance in Class 10 -- 30 per cent of the best three performing subjects, Class 11 -- 30 per cent based on final exams and Class 12 -- 40 per cent based on unit tests/ pre-board/midterm exams. The GSHSEB has formed its own evaluation policy which has been framed by a committee of 11 educationists.
