However, students from across the country have one question, how will they get promoted to the next class?

According to the education minister, the results of the Class 10th Board will be prepared on the basis of an objective criterion (internal assessment), which will be developed by the Board.
What if I don’t like my grades?

The statement made it clear that any candidate who is not satisfied with the marks allocated to him/her on this basis, will be given an opportunity to sit in an exam as and when the conditions are conducive to hold the exams. So if you want to be re-evaluated, you can do so once the pandemic ends.
