"The board committee deliberated at length on the discussions of the committee. It was decided to adopt the recommendations and the weightage of first term was fixed at 30 per cent and the second term was fixed at 70 per cent. However, for practical equal weightage was decided to be given for both terms in computation of final results," a senior board official explained, as reported by PTI.

While last year the result was declared on basis of a special assessment scheme as exams could not be conducted due to the pandemic, this year the exams were conducted in two terms.

CBSE did not announce a merit list this year as well. The Board discontinued the merit lists from 2020 when the schools were closed due to the pandemic.
