CBSE Class 12 results delayed over marks moderation

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The decision to stick with the marks moderation policy will delay the college admission process further.

By Mrinal Verma

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) withheld the results of the Class 12 examinations on Wednesday. The board has not given any new date to ease anticipation.

The results is said to have been withheld because the Delhi High Court had asked the CBSE to retain its Marks Moderation Policy till 2018. The MMP had been cause for much debate in homes, schools and elsewhere, with many asking for its removal, by tagging it unfair. The MMP has also been said to be responsible for the very high cutoffs at various universities like Delhi University, where even 90% does not guarantee college admission.

The students have been facing a lot of stress because of high cutoffs, which is why many wanted MMP removed. The process of evaluation of answer scripts for 2016-17 had been done keeping this in mind, and without MMP, making evaluation more stringent.

The Delhi High Court’s decision to retain MMP comes in the middle of the process where a majority of the work had already been done, and processing of results had already started. The HC order will now lead to the rechecking and reevaluation of answer scripts that had already been evaluated without the MMP. The delay in the declaration of results will also hold back the admission process in colleges.

Students, on the other hand, are getting more and more anxious every day. They want the results to be out as quickly as possible to put them out of their misery. They also are in favour of MMP, claiming the question papers are extremely tough and some leniency should be given to students. Navreet Kaur, a student of science stream at Apeejay School, Pitampura, is in support of MMP claiming that it is a good step that should be kept because questions in board exams are quite tricky and tough to crack. Keeping a note of how important and impactful board results are in a person’s life, she also says: “I don’t think that it’d be fair to penalise students on extremely tricky questions since we are already dealing with immense pressure inside the exam hall. I think MMP should continue, because board marks are something we carry with us all our lives, for every education and career pursuit. A single exam has the power to make or break certain opportunities and this makes moderation important, as students shouldn’t have to face permanent consequences for a temporary exam.”

Shubhangi Garg, a science student at Modern International School, Dwarka, also stands with MMP as she is anxious about her results and the course they set for her academic career. The tension is also high amongst the family members of the students.

Shubhangi’s sister, Apoorva Garg, is anxious about her sister’s admissions saying that she is looking forward to her getting into DU, but it also seems highly doubtful, with all the high cutoffs that seem impossible to match. Garg claims that MMP should be used very carefully as it awards students too much marks, affecting the college cutoffs, and when students are unable to clear, they get depressed.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

A major cabinet expansion took place in Bihar on Thursday, with 32 leaders from the ruling NDA alliance inducted into the state government. Among the prominent names was Nishant Kumar, son of former Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar, who entered the cabinet for the first time.

The expansion included representatives from all major NDA allies in the state. According to reports, the BJP secured 15 ministerial berths, while JD(U) got 13 positions. Two ministers were inducted from Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas), while Hindustani Awam Morcha and Rashtriya Lok Morcha received one berth each.

The oath-taking ceremony was held in Patna in the presence of senior NDA leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Defence Minister Rajnath Singh.

Nishant Kumar’s induction comes weeks after he formally entered active politics. His entry into the Bihar cabinet is being viewed as a significant development for JD(U), which had long projected an anti-dynasty image under Nitish Kumar’s leadership.

The cabinet reshuffle follows Nitish Kumar’s move to the Rajya Sabha earlier this year and the formation of the government led by Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday said Operation Sindoor demonstrated India’s firm response against terrorism and highlighted the country’s commitment to national security.

Marking one year of the operation, the Prime Minister praised the courage, precision and professionalism of the Indian armed forces. He said the military action was carried out in response to the Pahalgam terror attack that had claimed the lives of 26 civilians in 2025.

Operation Sindoor was launched on May 7, 2025, as a calibrated tri-services operation targeting terror infrastructure linked to cross-border terrorism. Reports said the operation showcased coordinated action by the armed forces and was seen as a major counter-terror response by India.

On the anniversary of the operation, PM Modi also changed the display pictures across his social media platforms, including X, Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp. The image carried the text “Operation Sindoor” along with the Indian tricolour design.

The Indian Air Force also shared visuals and messages recalling the operation and highlighting India’s military response. A video released by the force described the operation as a strong message against terrorism and referred to the precision strikes carried out during the mission.

Operation Sindoor was launched following the Pahalgam terror attack, after which India carried out strikes on terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, according to official statements and reports published at the time.

Actor-turned-politician Vijay met Tamil Nadu Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar again on Thursday as his party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), continued efforts to prove it has enough support to form the next government in the state.

TVK emerged as the single-largest party in the 234-member Tamil Nadu Assembly after winning 108 seats, but it remains short of the majority mark of 118.

The Congress has extended support to TVK, adding five MLAs to Vijay’s side. However, the alliance still needs additional backing from other parties or independents to comfortably cross the halfway mark.

According to reports, the Governor has not yet been fully convinced that TVK currently has the required numbers to form a stable government. This has delayed clarity over the swearing-in ceremony and the formal invitation to form the government.

Political activity intensified after reports emerged that some AIADMK legislators were moved to a resort in Puducherry amid speculation over possible support to TVK. AIADMK leaders, however, publicly denied any internal crisis.

TVK sources have expressed confidence that the party will be able to demonstrate majority support during discussions with the Governor.

The Tamil Nadu election results marked a major political shift in the state, with TVK breaking the long-standing dominance of the DMK and AIADMK in its first Assembly election contest.
