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.

The choice of maths paper would lead to situation that cannot be corrected at later date .maths would be removed fromfromm the academic career if a student for the rest of the life for a decision taken at age 14.Why not instead drafting a question paper keeping all levels of intellect in mind.With age and maturity students can fair well at maths at later date.
Hi, i am a mother of a tenth standard student. According to me these steps taken by cbse are beneficial to students. Good work.
Request the board to instruct the private schools to stop giving home works during the monthly and weekly tests as it becomes a real burden to the students as well the parents.
Reduce the fees of CBSE bord.it’s too high.
Hello .This is teacher and parent both.I think games should also be given equal importance. As for small children it becomes really monotonous to sit and study in the confinement of their classes at a stretch. SO according to me they should have games period daily.
Then what about practical exams??????will it be conducted very soon??

If no assignment is given to classes 1 and 2 they will not study or revise anything. This is also the foundation period. Maximum learning takes place during this period. Compared to ICSE and Cambridge syllabus, CBSE kids will be left way behind.
If English Grammar is included in the syllabus of Kendriya Vidyalaya, under CBSC it would have been better for the students. As students are the pillar of the nation. If a student is weak in English Grammar it can hamper their future career….
These are good initiatives by CBSE. We hope that they will also realize the importance and widespread use of WESTERN MUSIC in India, (even in Indian films) and offer it as a core subject in Classes 9 to 12.
This is for those studens who are now in 10 ?
Hello , This is Aryan. The changes introduced by CBSE in 2018-19 are really good but I just want the CBSE board affiliation to know that many private schools don’t follow changes introduced by CBSE & don’t give much importance such as sports is only provided once in 2 week of just 45 mins whereas CBSE compulsorily says sports will be on daily basis
Good initiative by CBSE regarding home work but the need of hour is to implement it strictly.
The standard in the language used in the NCERT text books is not upto the mark. Also the chapters lack the systematic approach that is leading to lot of confusion when read by the students. The children definitely used better text books from Oxford and Pearson in the previous classes.. Lastly English langauage is not given importance as much it should have been given as it forms the basic for understanding most of the subjects and would definitely help in boosting the self confidence for children…Request you people to kindly adhere to the above and please re introduce standardized learning methods for the betterment of the childrens’ future.
