The Board has also requested schools to read, understand the circular and bring the information to the notice of class 10 and 12 students. Schools have to ensure that the cases of shortage of attendance should complete as per Standard Operating Procedure (SOPs) and send to the concerned Regional Office for condonation of attendance without any delay.
Valid Reasons for Condonation of Shortage of Attendance
The cases of shortage of attendance will only be considered if a student has a genuine and valid reason. Some of the valid reasons can be:
- Prolonged Illness
- Loss of father/mother or some other such incident leading to his/her absence from the school and meriting special consideration. Any other reason of similar serious nature.
- Authorised participation in Sports at National level organised by CBSE/SGFI.
- Authorised participation in Sports at National / International level organised by the organised federation.
After stating the reason, students have to submit the documents regarding it. Only then would it be considered for the condonation.
As exams are near to its conduct, this is the time when students must start solving the CBSE Sample Papers and Previous Years Question Papers. Doing so will help them in achieving a good score.
