- Finally, as per the Internal Assessment (IA) method, 30% marks of SA-I, 50% of SA-II and 20% of the IA will be taken into account.

The concerned authorities have taken this decision keeping in mind the disastrous impact of the COVID situation. According to them, this way they won’t have to be stressed about the upcoming examinations.
Students are supposed to appear at their own schools for the offline SA-II examinations. Teachers from other schools are to supervise the examination. In case the schools cannot arrange the examination, the students are to appear at the nearest BSE schools. The Board will issue a guideline regarding that later.
The Class 10 Board Examination will start from March 11, 2022, at 8 a.m., as per the official statement.
