3) The Chairperson Smt. Radhika Mehra addressed the concerns of the schools regarding the above.

4) Since the Circular No. CBSE-Acad/JD-AHA/Notification/2018 dated 22nd January, 2018 regarding withdrawal was received only in the month of January, it was felt that making any changes in the examination pattern would be difficult.

5) Also, all the report cards have been printed and hence any change at this point is not possible.

6) Hence all present agreed that they would continue with the earlier pattern and any change in policy will be implemented from the next session. Also, CBSE may send further communication in this regard.

7) If schools have alternative plan, then they should take a call on the policy in consultation with their management.

8) Some members raised query regarding additional sixth subjects. They were informed that student may opt for the six subjects and if he fails in any of the main subject then the marks of the additional subject would be considered.

9) In case a student wants to give compartment exam in the main subject, inspite of offering six subjects, he may do so.
