Bhubaneswar: The Board of Secondary Education (BSE) Odisha has announced an alternative assessment method to prepare the BSE Class X results. As per the criteria released by the board, the valuation will be done on the basis of Class IX and X marks. The board will also consider the performance of a school in the past four years’ HSC exam. It may be recalled that the state government had cancelled BSE Odisha Matric Exam 2021 in view of the second wave of COVID-19.
The passing criteria
- For “regular” and “quasi-regular” students, marks will be given on the basis of their performance in the half-yearly, annual exams of Class IX and practice tests held in Class X.
- 40 per cent weightage will be given to highest marks obtained in Class IX exams in each subject.
- The remaining 60 per cent weightage will come from practice tests conducted in Class X.
- In case any candidate has appeared in only one practice test, then 70 per cent weightage will be given in the mark secured in Class IX exams (half-yearly and annual).
- For candidates who have not appeared in any practice test in Class X, a hundred per cent weightage will be given to the marks secured in half-yearly and annual exams.
