The Class 12 results of the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) are likely to be declared this week, despite the confusion arising from a Delhi high court ruling against the scrapping of the moderation policy for this academic year. Even if we have to apply the moderation policy, it will not cause a lot of delay because everything is done scientifically,” said a source. The high court on Tuesday directed the CBSE to restore the moderation policy – which allows the provision of grace marks to students for difficult questions – for the time being. Kushwaha was responding to a question on the CBSE’s moderation policy in the Class 12 board examinations. CBSE has been carrying out this practice since 1992, when multiple sets of question papers were introduced.
