Formula proposed for class 10, 12 marks, panel set up

LUCKNOW: A formula has been proposed on how UP Board class 10 and 12 marks are likely to be calculated.

There’s a possibility that some changes could be made in this proposed formula at a later stage. Deputy chief minister Dinesh Sharma said it had been decided to promote class 10 and 12 board examinees. A committee has been formed under additional chief secretary (secondary education) Aradhana Shukla to come up with recommendations on the basis of which formula will be finalised to award marks to students, said Sharma.

While the proposed workable formula has been broadly

prepared, the final marking pattern will be based on ACS Shukla’s recommendations, he said. As per the proposed formula, the marks for class 12 will be determined on the basis of average marks obtained by a student in class 10 and 11, according to an official release.

If the class 11 marks are not available, the marks obtained in pre-board exams will be considered, the release added.

For the regular and private students of class 12 whose class 10 and 11 marks are not available, such students will be promoted with pass certificates only. For class 10, the final marks will be determined on the basis of average of their class 9 marks and pre- board exam marks of class 10.

Likewise, those class 10 students whose pre-board and class 9 marks are not available will be promoted with pass certificates only.

The class 10 and 12 students of 2021 will also be allowed to take the exam of either one subject or all subjects in the next board exam to improve their scores if they wish to do so.
