Hello Rashmi,

The role of practical exams in the overall assessment for the JAC 12th exams includes following :

  1. Skill Evaluation : Practical exams assess students' hands-on abilities in subjects like science, arts, and vocational courses.
  2. Weightage : They carry a significant weight in the final marks, usually around 30-40% depending on the subject.
  3. Understanding Application : They test the application of theoretical knowledge in real-world scenarios.
  4. Boosting Marks : High performance in practicals can improve overall scores, especially if theory marks are low.
  5. Practical Knowledge : They ensure students understand the concepts deeply beyond memorization.

Hope it helps !

Hello,

If you fail the JAC 12th exam, you generally do not need to repeat the entire year. Here's what typically happens:

  1. Supplementary Exam : You can appear for the supplementary exam in the same year to improve your marks.
  2. Reappear : If you fail in one or two subjects, you may be allowed to reappear for those specific subjects without repeating the whole year.
  3. Reattempt Next Year : If you fail in multiple subjects, you might need to repeat the entire class 12th the following year.
  4. Check School Guidelines : Always verify with your school or board for specific policies.

Hope it helps !

hi...

Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has released the list of subjects for which offline exams will be conducted for Class 12th students. The CBSE will be conducting examinations only in main subjects in Class XII.

Candidates who wish to apply for the examination can register themselves online on the portal which will be made available soon by the CBSE. As per the notice released, offline examinations for CBSE Class 12 Board 2021 would be conducted from August 16, 2021, to September 15, 2021.

Students who are not satisfied with the computed marks can take the exams offline. As per the policy, marks scored in the examination will be considered as final.



The CBSE will be holding the exams for those students, who after the declaration of result 2021, do not meet the qualifying criteria in one subject and are placed in the compartment category. This examination is compulsory for Private, Patrachar and second chance compartment candidates etc., whose result has not been declared based on the Policy for Tabulation because of their non-availability of yearlong assessment details.



Candidates will be examined only in the reduced syllabus as prescribed for the year of examination. The design of the question papers will be similar to the Sample Question Papers, available on Board's official website.
