JKBOSE directs home-based evaluation of pending answer scripts of classes X, XII
“However all other norms of evaluation as envisaged in the relevant regulations shall be applicable,” it reads.
The Jammu and Kashmir Board of School Education (BOSE) has ordered home based evaluation of the left out answer scripts of class 10th and 12th in summer zones, instead of routine table evaluation, as one time exception, in view of Covid-19 lockdown.
The order in this regard has been issued by Secretary JK Board of School Education (BOSE).
As per the order, the table evaluation of class 10th to 12th annual regular, summer zone started w.e.f February 29 and March 01 respectively. However, it was suspended due to the complete lockdown imposed due to COVID-19 pandemic.
“The home based evaluation will be allowed after adopting adequate mechanism to ensure the safety, security and confidentiality of the answer sheets for which the joint secretary secrecy shall work out all required modalities,” reads the order.
A meeting in this regard was convened last week by JKBOSE wherein it was decided that allowing more than hundred evaluators to attend evaluation centres at BOSE Campus Rehari Colony Jammu was not advisable amid the prevailing situation.
“It is also not possible to resume the table evaluation process in the normal course and there is a strong perception that the delayed results may lead to chaotic situation and cause disturbance in the academic calendar,” the order reads, adding that the consensus emerged in the meeting to go for home evaluation to tide over the situation and ensure the completion of evaluation process without any delay.
As per the order, the head examiners and checking assistants will work from board campus as per table evaluation norms.
“The proportionate marks in the practical examination of class 10th 2020/annual regular summer zone shall be awarded to the examinees corresponding to the marks scored by them in the science theory subject,” the order reads.
It further reads that appropriate decision about the non-conduct of examination in some theory papers of class 12th annual-regular 2020 in summer zone, Jammu shall be taken after the completion of evaluation of all those papers which have already been conducted and reviewing the situation at that time.
“However all other norms of evaluation as envisaged in the relevant regulations shall be applicable,” it reads.
