NEW DELHI: The Central Board of Secondary Examination (CBSE) said that it is following the New Education Policy (NEP) to improve the performance of the students in the Board examination.
A day after releasing the CBSE Class 10th and 12th Term-1 examination schedule, the CBSE Examination Controller Sanyam Bhardwaj said, “We’re following NEP recommendations to provide more opportunities to students for appearing in exams & improve their performance. So we decided to conduct exams in 2 phases. Term 1 will be objective type and term 2 will be subjective.”
He further said, “the final Board result will be based on both terms. But if due to pandemic Term-2 didn’t happen then the result will be according to Term 1. Term 1 will help students in knowing in what areas they need to improve for.”
The CBSE first term board exams for class 10 will begin from November 30, while the exams for class 12 is scheduled from December 1.
