Central Board of Secondary Education has issued an update regarding not releasing the results of a few of the Class 12 students. CBSE issued this notification after some schools reported that a few students who were studying in their school at the time of submission of List of Candidates (LOC) are not available for examination.

Clarifying this issue, CBSE further stated that students who missed online classes or did not appear for half-yearly and the pre-board examinations will be considered absent. The reasons given by the schools for the non-availability of students for examination/computation are as follows:

• The student has taken TC.
• The student has ceased to be a bonafide student of the school due to various reasons including demise, and name-struck-off cases.
• The student could not be contacted by the school for online classes and/or tests or assessments and it was not possible to conduct required assessments.

CBSE said that the results of students in these categories will not be declared and the students will be marked absent. It may be noted that data in respect of these students may not be submitted by awarding them zero mark or mentioning anything else against their names, CBSE added.
