New Delhi: Students appearing for the 10th and 12th examination in the academic year 2019-20 need to have a minimum 75 per cent attendance under the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE). CBSE has issued a circular in this regard, news agencies have reported.
As per the report, the CBSE in its latest notice has directed all schools to calculate attendance of students who have to appear for class 10 and class 12 board exams this year as on January 1, 2020.
Students whose attendance will be calculated less than 75 per cent will not be allowed to appear for the exams, as per the rule mandated by the CBSE.
The CBSE board exams will commence from February 15 and admit cards will be released only for students who are eligible by all means including that of mandatory attendance. The list of candidates with short attendance will reach regional offices and the final decision will be taken on or before January 7.
However, candidates having a genuine reason behind the shortage of attendance, will have to submit the supporting documents with the authorities by January 7.
As per the circular, “No case will be considered post the deadline and all the standard operating procedures for calculation of attendance will have to be followed,” news agencies quoted.
