It is said that the total scores should be based on the school’s previous performance in Class 12 board examinations. The CBSE informed the bench of justices that about 40% of the scores will be based on Class 12 pre-board examinations, 30% on Class 11 final exam, and 30% on the best-of-three Class 10 grades. Practicals will be for 100 marks, and students would be graded based on the scores submitted by their schools.

Students who are dissatisfied with their results may reappear when the CBSE conducts the Class 12 board examinations “The Attorney General informed the court.
During the hearing, the court stated that there should be a dispute resolution panel for students who want their final results corrected, as well as deadlines for when the results would be released and the optional exams would be held.
