The Central Board of Secondary Education has made some landmark changes in its education system. This evolution includes the changes in the exams pattern for class 10 and 12, the question papers in encrypted form, the conduction of the exams soon, the release of the results early, no homework for class 1 and 2 etc.
Exams will be Held from February 2019
As per the recent notification released by CBSE, the board exams of class 10 and class 12 will be held in the month of February 2019. Earlier, the vocational and the core subjects’ exams were used to be held in the month of March itself. But from 2019 session, CBSE will conduct the skill education (vocational) exams in February while for the core subjects, the exams will be conducted in March. CBSE has taken this initiative for the convenience of the students. There are 15 vocational subjects in Class 10 while 40 skill education subjects have been offered for class 12. There are also some other subjects such as Graphics, Office Communication, Web Applications which have less than 500 students. So, CBSE has decided to conclude the exams of these subjects in the month of February 2019 while March 2019 will be used for the main exams for the core subjects such as Mathematics, Physics, Languages, Chemistry, Biology, Geography etc.
Results will be Announced Earlier
The High Court of Delhi has directed CBSE to release the results earlier from this academic year. Delhi HC added that the results of from the main exams to the revaluation results must be announced sooner. So, HRD Minister, Prakash Javedkar has also directed CBSE to make efforts in this direction.
This year, many students have faced the problem due to the late revaluation result. Thus, this initiative will be very helpful for the students.
Two Test Paper Options for Class 10 Mathematics
This decision of CBSE has given a sigh of relief to the students. Now, the candidates of class 10 will get the option to answer a standard-level or the existing-level mathematics question paper. The students who do not want to pursue Mathematics for the higher studies can opt the standard level of Maths. There is also a committee of 15 members comprising mathematics experts. The syllabus would be the same for the students. But they will get the chance to choose one question paper on the basis of their convenience.
Digitalization of the Question Papers
To avoid any kind of paper leak in the board exams, CBSE has made a change in terms of question papers. So, the board launched a pilot project as the encrypted form of question papers. For Class 10 Compartment exams, CBSE issued the encrypted question paper to the principal of the respective schools and the principals were able to download it right before the exams by using the user id and password. There were some issues with this step. So, CBSE is trying to improve it and will apply this step from the next year.
No Home Work for Class 1 and class 2
Madras High Court instructed CBSE to remove the ritual of giving the homework to class 1 and class 2 students. Also, the weight of the bags should be 1/4 to the weight of the student. The regional officers of CBSE and the Association of Management of Private Schools are instructed to prescribe the NCERT syllabus to the students.
These are some initiative taken by CBSE this year. Share your views regarding these steps. To do so feel free to use the comment section given below.
Changes r made but not followed .mainly the weightage of the bag should be implemented for all the cladses.
Social science syllabus of classes 6-8 should be reduced.Specially 6th class students are not able to cope up with the syllabus. Because of syllabus students don’t want to study s.sc. this is the only reason that humanities group has been removed from many schools and in CBSE very less students are there for humanities group.
Thank you

All good but homework should be banned for classes 1- 5
Really appreciable steps taken by CBSE for comfort of the students..one suggesstion..since students not pursuing maths afyer 10th will get the option for easy paper..why not CBSE consider this proposal for subject like social studies ie SST which the science students will not pursue after 10th.. I think HRD ministry should consider this issue also as SST is a nightmare for most of the students who wish to take science stream after 10th exam.
N what for 4 the class cbse pattern
Hmmm
The schools should keep student lockers in the classrooms to ease the burden of books. When fees are paid, why should we not demand proper facilities
I requested to cbse board that make value based question that ratta Mar system should be failed
can we choose the mathematics question paper in this year examination that means can we choose standard mathematics question
Very good changes are made, like conducting vocational exams early… No home works for 1st and 2 nd standard… At the same time cbse has to ensure that schools should conduct limited hours of classes for all the sections… Ensure that co-curricular activities are conducted regularly which is the strength of the cbse…But most of the schools won’t follow it… Ensure teachers are paid good salaries according to their qualifications..so that quality of education is maintained…
very nice. But might be problem created in two papers in maths. Instead better to give a single paper with avg level questions which is useful to answer by every one. Thank you
I don’t understand the Weiwei of bag and
I don’t understand the weight of bag should be 1/4 the weight of child. In every class students are of different weights.and teaching periods are 8 including P.T. and Art This means the child with less weight will have to carry less books where as the child with more weight will carry all the books . Actually proper guidance is needed regarding this matter.
See after closing homework for classes 1 and 2 you not think that it may reduce the mental power of children .
MrJavedkarji,PL stop doing the experiments at the end of the session where students are left over with few months.You would have done it earlier.
