CBSE board exams: Decision after discussion

This comes against the backdrop of concerns being raised by various schools over the CBSE’s plan to study the idea of advancement of board examination by over a month. “The purpose is to have more time for evaluation and bring quality. However, there will be no decision in advancing the exams without taking stakeholders on board,” a senior CBSE official said. 

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is mulling advancing the board exams of Classes 10 and 12 to February from the existing schedule of March. The idea has cropped up following complaints of fault evaluation process prompting the board to set up two committees to analyse the process and suggest measures to rectify the loopholes. “The idea will be studied,” the official added.
