CBSE Class 12 result 2020: Here is Board's formula for ranking students who did not appear

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) announced the results for 2020 Class 12 board examinations on Monday. The exams were put on hold in the middle of March as the raging coronavirus pandemic triggered a nationwide lockdown.

The board decided to only conduct 29 "important" papers of those exams that were pending for both Classes 10 and 12. However, later it decided not to conduct any of the pending examinations as the pandemic painted a grim situation. 

The board then devised a formula to impute the marks of papers in which students did not appear. This involved calculating with an average of the best three papers of students who had written four papers, of the best two for students who had written only three, and used practical and project marks for students who had written less than two.
