Students demand #BestOfEitherTerms  

‘Best of Either Terms Subject Wise’ is trending all over social media ahead of the conclusion of CBSE 10^th exams 2022. Not just CBSE but several state board students have also joined the trend. Stating that ‘Best of Either Terms Subject Wise’ is the ideal evaluation method to release board results, Praveen, a Class 12 student said, “Our batch of 2021-2022 has faced a lot of problems during their academic year. We have taken online classes throughout our last 2 academic years. We are the most experimental batch ever in history. We have to give board exam in 2 phases Term 1 and term 2. A lot of students' preparation is disturbed due to the COVID-19 outbreak. We did not get enough time for Term 2 preparation.”

“I am a student of class 12 2021-2022 batch currently taking board examination. I along with the majority of students want BestofEitherterms to be implemented for our evaluation because This batch has faced a lot of problems since last two years as we have been taking online classes. After attending online classes we are forced to take the offline examination even when the covid cases are at its peak. We are the most experimental batch ever we had to give board examination in two terms Term 1 and Term2. For Term 1 which was objective a lot of time was given also students who were preparing for only boards faced objective examination for the first time, and for term 2 very less time was given,” said Namrata Pancholi.

“Students who are from rural areas where there is poor connection were not able to take online classes. Even CBSE said that they could not take online examination due to poor network in rural areas then how can that student get proper education. Thus we request for best of either terms (Subject wise),” Pancholi added.

“People are forcing CBSE to adopt the suggested evaluation method because it is central board. It is likely that if CBSE adopts best of either terms, other state boards would also adopt the same,” said Sarojini, a Maharashtra SSC student.

 

Himanshu Borah Founder & President of AIJNSA (All India JEE NEET Students Association) has backed students' demand for the best of either term subject-wise. Supporting students’ demands, Borah has sent a letter to CBSE, PMO and MoE stating, “Respected Sir, I am Himanshu Borah, student activist writing this representation on behalf of CBSE students and Parents, as I can feel the pain of all the board students they are facing and also to bring your kind attention towards the tough time being faced by the millions of board students across the country. In last two years, the quality of education that they deserve was not provided to them due to pandemic. As we know the situation of students of 2021-22 batch. Students face lots of issues due to pandemic outbreak in the country, change our education system totally, first time in history students study whole year in online mode, they face lot of the issue like network problem, no concept and base of study was cleared and many more reason for not having proper facility of study.”

Borah further added that conducting board exams in two terms was a great move to save students’ academic year, but it did make students face issues in term of MCQ pattern, new marking scheme, paper pattern, out-of-syllabus questions and more.

He further requested the Board to consider 'Best Of Either Terms subject wise' evaluation method to release board exam results.
