CBSE CLASS 10th Results 2021: Most Important FAQs

Question 1 - In the calculation of Class 10th result, CBSE has given reference year as 2019 and mentioned in a footnote that for "Maths Basic" the reference year should be taken as 2020. Does this mean the reference year for "Maths Basic" will be 2020 and the rest of the subjects will be 2019?
Answer - Yes. The reference year for “Maths Basic” will be taken as 2020 and the rest of the subjects will be 2019 because “Maths Basic” did not exist before 2020.

Question 2 -  Whether recalculation of the mean of total result will be done after taking 2020 as the reference year for "Maths Basic"?
Answer - No. The mean of total result will be the same as whatever CBSE has given for the reference year (i.e. 2019, Not 2020). You can align that by doing +/- 2 in other subjects. 

Question 3 - If an internal member of the result committee is deputed for COVID-19 Duty now, can the member be replaced? Can the replacement be done even if the new result committee is not in accordance with norms given by CBSE?
Answer - The member can be replaced preferably by a teacher teaching class X. If not available then PGT can also be replaced. Mention the reason for the replacement in the Rationale Document.

Question 4 - Quality Index not matching. How it can be matched
Answer - There are no such criteria given in CBSE Notification that Q. I. should match.
