The CBSE has already published the detailed evaluation criteria for class 12 students. The board will assign the maximum weightage to the 12th exams, which include pre-boards, unit tests, or mid-terms, in the evaluation.

The board has allotted 20 marks to this section in the practical tests. Changes to the practical marks will be made accordingly where theory is for 70 marks. This year, no merit list will be issued.
