CBSE Dismisses Reports of the Board’s Inability to Conduct Bi-Annual Board Exams
The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) clarified on Monday that it has not communicated with the Ministry of Education (MoE) about conducting biannual board examinations.
The CBSE has dismissed reports in certain sections of the media, claiming that the CBSE has told the education ministry that conducting board exams for classes 10 and 12 twice a year was not possible under the current academic schedule.
CBSE took to the social media platform X (formerly Twitter) and said that the imputation in the news item as regards CBSE’s views on the matter being raised is denied. CBSE further said that it is incorrect and does not have any basis in any communication made between the ministry and CBSE.
Earlier, a few media outlets reported that CBSE has told the Ministry of Education that conducting board exams twice a year for classes 10 and 12 is impossible during a program on the National Curriculum Framework 2023 on June 25 at Vigyan Bhawan in New Delhi.
Since CBSE schools are present worldwide, it is impossible to conduct CBSE board exams in two shifts in the present system and policies, the board reasoned, as per the media reports.
Last year, the National Curriculum Framework (NCF) suggested that biannual exams provide students with additional chances to perform well and receive high exam scores. In order to lessen the workload and strain on the students, the NCF also recommended that the board exams be held twice a year.
