CBSE also advised schools to held practical and oral exams online due to the usual COVID-19 condition in the nation.
CBSE in a letter sent to schools said, “In subjects where the external examiner has not been appointed, the concerned school teacher of the subject will conduct the internal assessment based on the instructions given in curriculum in an online mode and upload the marks awarded at the link provided by the Board.”
The letter sent by CBSE said that CBSE will designate an external examiner who will choose the date of practical examination or project evaluation in discussion with the internal examiner. The internal examiner will notify the students and share the link of the meeting along with the students.
While, in a major development, CBSE has said that it will consider some time to achieve the result of CBSE Class 12 Board Exam 2021 as the norms have not been selected yet.

Once the criteria are decided, data will be collected from all the schools under the CBSE board, then the assessment data will be uploaded. This will take a long time. It is not possible to give a definite date yet but let’s assume that the criteria will be circulated in two weeks.”
