CBSE Class 12th Result Live Updates: What for students in West Asia?
Class 12 exams that were to be held in March in West Asian countries – Iran, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UAE — were cancelled in the wake of the conflict after the US and Israel attacked Iran in February. Students in these countries were able to give papers till the end of February, and all papers scheduled for dates after that were cancelled. For these students, whose results will be declared along with the rest, the Board had announced a separate assessment scheme. Their final results are being calculated based on previous exams, such as pre-boards and half-yearly papers. For instance, in subjects where the maximum theory marks are 80 or 70, the performance of the students in the quarterly exam, the half-yearly exam, and the final pre-board exam will be considered, with the best of the three scores being taken for the final result. The Board had given schools an online platform to upload these marks.

CBSE Class 12 Results Live Updates: Why the Board switched to digital marking?
The Board has introduced an ‘on-screen marking’ system for Class 12. This means that the answer books are being evaluated digitally. All class 11 and 12 teachers are being deployed for evaluation, and they were given log-in credentials in advance to access the online portal for evaluation. Teachers were also given an opportunity to take up mock evaluations to familiarise themselves with the new system, along with a mass mock evaluation organised in February. While announcing the on-screen marking system for Class 12, the Board had said in February that benefits can include elimination of totaling errors, reduced manual intervention, faster evaluation, enabling teachers of all affiliated schools to contribute to the evaluation process, and savings in transportation time and costs.
