Since the school is allotted one affiliation number, all arrangements will be done by the Principal who is overall in-charge of the school.”

In one of the answers regarding a concern about assessment of students who did not appear in any assessment, CBSE replied that “If any candidate has not appeared in any of the assessments conducted by the school, the school may conduct an offline/online or a telephonic one to one assessment and record documentary evidence to certify the recommendations. The student may be assessed objectively on that basis by the school out of maximum marks of each subject.”
