On June 26th, the CBSE announced that the pending board exams for 2020 would not be conducted. Instead, marks for the subjects of those exams would be calculated by taking the average of the best 3 exams written. This scheme is particularly harmful to IP, Computer Science, Commerce, and Humanities students who are weak in the main subjects, as we were hoping to raise our average grades by scoring better for our respective subjects. The CBSE's decision to take the average of the best marks of 3 subjects and assigning it to a completely unrelated subject is ridiculous and unheard of. The CBSE has offered the alternative option of writing the pending exams at an undisclosed date. This, however, is not possible for students seeking admission in Universities outside India. 

We would like the CBSE to implement internal assessment for the pending exams as they are a better standard to assign marks. We would like the CBSE to take the average of the best two of the last three exams conducted internally by schools. However, fears of forgery and mark manipulation are justifiable, so we would like the CBSE to simply consider another option if the current scheme results in unfair or unjustifiably low marks for the pending subjects.
