Owing to the Covid pandemic, the CBSE Board exams were conducted in two terms - Term one in objective mode and Term two in descriptive mode. Each term covered 50% of the portions. The syllabus was also reduced by 30% taking into account the loss of 'transactional time' in view of the Covid pandemic.
"The weightage of Term one was fixed at 30% and Term two at 70% for theory papers. However, for practical, equal weightage was decided to be given for both terms for preparing the final result," the CBSE said in a press note.
The results are available on the websites https://cbseresults.nic.in and https://cbse.gov.in. The results can also be accessed through Mobile App Umang (https://web.umang.gov.in). CBSE will also provide digital academic documents such as mark sheets, and passing certificates through its own academic repository 'Parinam Manjusha; which is integrated with DigiLocker https: // cbse.digilocker.gov.in
