The organisation also suggested that results of the 10th and 11th examinations be factored in while declaring the 12th board examination results by including 3 per cent marks of class 10th, 20 per cent of 11th and 50 per cent marks of class 12th. As an alternative, it suggested the formula of including 20 per cent marks of class 10th, 20 per cent of 11th and 60 per cent marks of 12th, to evaluate 12th board exams results.

Shiksha Sanskriti Utthan Nyas also recommended the government consider the internal marks while calculating the final results of students.
