GBSHE Result 2021: Goa Board releases evaluation criteria for Class 12 exams; check at gbshse.info

-

The Goa Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education (GBSHE) has released a detailed circular on the evaluation of marks for Class 12 board exams. Students, who are waiting for their results, can check the evaluation criteria on the official website gbshse.info.

The marking policy has been released after the Goa education board cancelled Class 12 examinations on 3 June due to the second wave of coronavirus in the state.

According to the official notice, GBSHE has asked Higher Secondary schools to follow a 30:30:40 format for calculation of the theory part for all subjects for Class 12 students.

As per the formula, 30 percent weightage will be on the average of three subjects in which a student has scored the highest marks in Class 10, then another 30 percent weightage will be given to the student's performance in Class 11 (final theory component) and finally, 40 percent weightage will be on unit tests or mid-term exams conducted in Class 12 by the school.

Further in the notification, GBSHE informed that amid the second COVID-19 wave in the country, the board had faced challenges of delivering unbiased and fair results to candidates.

The main objective of this new format for calculation is to provide an unbiased and transparent academic record that is based on the realistic performance of the candidate.

Henceforth, the board has directed and ordered schools to form a result committee. The group should consist of a principal and a minimum of four senior-most teachers (from Arts, Commerce, Science and Vocational streams each). While one teacher must be from a neighbouring Higher Secondary School teaching Class 12. The schools will co-opt the teacher as the external member of the committee.

The notification also mentions that if in case any student is dissatisfied with the evaluation policy, then he/she will be given the opportunity to appear for physical examinations that will be held in the state when the conditions are conducive.

The GBSHE Class 12 exams were scheduled to be conducted from 24 April to 18 May this year but got postponed due to the COVID-19 crisis in the state. Later, the board cancelled the exams due to the rise in coronavirus cases.

Both COVID-19 vaccine doses needed for good protection against B16172 variant

-
It’s been a concerning few weeks in the UK, with the B16172 variant first taking hold and then spreading to become dominant. This more infectious form of the virus, initially identified in India, is what we’re now going to have to live with – unless it is out-competed by another variant in the future. Worryingly, experts had predicted that B16172 might be able to escape some of the effects of vaccines, which if true would threaten to derail the UK’s plans to finish lifting restrictions from the end of June. However, Public Health England (PHE) has looked at the ability of various variants to evade immunity and says that the UK’s vaccines remain effective against the variants circulating, including B16172. On the surface, this looks like good news. But delve a bit deeper, and things get more complicated, says Paul Hunter, professor of medicine at the University of East Anglia. PHE’s research found a little drop-off in protection against B16172 among people who were fully vaccinated.

New coronavirus variant emerge in India: How should our COVID response change?

-

After genome sequencing of over 10,000 COVID-19 cases in India, researchers have discovered a new variant with two new mutations which may be better at evading the immune system. In 15-20 percent of samples from the Indian state of Maharashtra (the state accounting for 62 percent of cases in the country) a new, double mutation in key areas of the virus has been detected. These are now known as the E484Q and L452R mutations. What makes the variant different? Both these mutations are concerning because they are located in a key portion of the virus – the spike protein – that it uses to penetrate human cells. Spike proteins attach via a “receptor binding domain”, meaning the virus can attach to receptors in our cells. These new mutations include changes to the spike protein that make it a “better fit” for human cells. This means the virus can gain entry more easily and multiply faster. Given what we have seen with other similar mutations , it might also make it harder for our immu

Aditya L1 Mission: Spacecraft is nearing its final phase, says ISRO chief

-
Aditya L1 spacecraft is nearing its final phase, and manoeuvres to enter the L1 point are expected to be completed by January 7, 2024, according to ISRO Chairman S Somanath. “Aditya is on the way. I think it has reached almost its final phase,” the ISRO chief told PTI on the sidelines of an event organised at VSSC to commemorate the 60th year of the First Sounding Rocket Launch. Aditya L1, India’s first space-based mission to study the Sun, was successfully launched on September 2 from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC) in Sriharikota. The spacecraft, after travelling about 1.5 million km from Earth over 125 days, is expected to be placed in a Halo orbit around the Lagrangian point L1, considered closest to the Sun. He said that the last preparations for the spacecraft’s entry into the L1 point are currently underway incrementally.”Possibly by January 7th, the final manoeuvres will be done for entering into the L1 point,” Somanath added. Among other tasks, it will capture and tr
