Examination Reform

After wide consultation held by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) with various stakeholders including principals, teachers, parents, student and academicians and the public, following decisions were taken;

a. There will be no class X board examination w.e.f 2011 in CBSE schools.

b. The students of class IX and X will be assessed on the basis of CCE (Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation) to be implemented at the school level. CCE will be applicable to class IX students from the session 2009-10.

c. For students who wish to move out of their schools and for students in schools which have no higher secondary classes, on-demand examination will be offered by CBSE from 2011 onwards. Though it is not required for students continuing in the same school in class XI, they will have the option to appear for on-demand examination to get themselves assessed.

d. It has been decided to replace the present system of awarding marks by grades in all subjects in class X Board examination to be conducted by CBSE in 2010. Such grading would be continued for on-demand examination of 2011 and beyond and also for CCE.
