AHMEDABAD: The Gujarat Secondary and Higher Secondary Education Board (GSHSEB) has decided to conduct the board examination in pen-and-paper format for Class 12 science students who are not satisfied with their results that were declared recently.
Such students were to submit their results to their schools by August 3. The exams will be held over a period of three days from August 12 to August 14, said a board official. There will be two subject papers a day. GSHSEB expects about 500 students to take the examination.
A total of 1,07,267 students have cleared Class 12 science the results of which were declared by Gujarat Secondary and Higher Secondary Education Board (GSHSEB) last month. Keeping in view the Covid-19 situation earlier this year, the state education department had last month decided to cancel the board exams and give mass promotion to students.
The board had set the criteria for evaluating academic performance of students in Class 12 based on merit-based progression. A total of 3,245 students received the highest ranking of A-1 Grade which is given to students who have 90% and more in all the subjects put together.
This includes Class 12 science students of Group A, Group B and Group AB. For Group A, 1,629 students got A-1 Grade based on their academic performance while for Group B or students who have opted for biology instead of mathematics, a total of 1,614 students were awarded A Grade. For Group AB, four students received A 1 Grade, according to data compiled by GSHSEB.
