The Supreme Court has accepted the submission made by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) on the Class 12 marking formula finalized by the committee and said results will be out by July 31.

CBSE has proposed that students should be given marks based on the average of class 12 pre-board score, Class 10 and Class 11 final marks. This will be for the theory section, for practicals the marks will be submitted by schools.

About 40% of the marks will be based on Class 12 pre-board, while 30% marks will be based on Class 11 final exam and another 30% on best-of-three Class 10 marks.

Students will be placed in the "essential repeat" or "compartment" category if they fail to meet the qualifying criteria.
