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.
Why no homework and less bag weight for class 1 and 2….and special schemes for class 10 and 12..are students of class 9 and 12 not children… And don’t they have to satart preparing for class 10 and 12 from class 9 and 11 only . .Why they are compelled to do so much . .I don’t ask for no homework but atleast a little reduction in the pressure can be done …
Principals must have already 3 step verification
1. Link to organization registration
2.Link to examination registration 10/12
3Updates links from cbse
4.view or download of papers in the presence of camera can be seen from cbse exam control room.
5.Persons sitting in the server room must have a password to go inside
Etc.

As there will be an option for mathematics, same has to be done for SST like standard level and existing level papers.
It’s right decision
Hello this is Jaskirat Singh and a few months ago CBSE issued a notice according to which each and every class in school might get a physical period every week and also to have physical education as a compulsory subject well I am from Neo Convent Sr. Sec. School and want to tell that both of these things are being denied at our school and nothing has been done so far
Any cbsc school are charge or not to registration for class 12
seriously cbse is now think in a right path by reducing the homework for class 1 and 2 ..and having a exams starts from February
Choice of maths question paper is not good
Good initiatives by CBSE. However the school bags of class 1 and 2 should be 1/8 of the students instead of 1/4.
Its a good step by cbse. CBSE should make it clear that all schools should follow ncert books.
As a student I want to say that it is too much earlier exam that is they are starting from February.The school is as much in completion of course it should not be taking the examination in February.It is too much early for the student to give the exam
Idea of two exam paper can be bit confusion to students.. Also class 1and 2 no homework idea is good one as well as weight of school bags. .But hardly any school follow.. I my self asked principal Arwachin public school.. They hardly bother of such changes and notifications no ncret ciricullum is followed..
I therefore request u to plz make a squad for such checking.. Thanks Dinesh Tiwari
Though some changes are appreciable , an important fact which should be brought to the notice of CBSE board is that NCERT syllabus is not up to the mark. It can not provide or act as a healthy brainteaser . So it’s a request to the board to move back to a better curriculum. Also request to make the school working for 5 days only like other offices as that will reduce the emotional and intellectual burden on the children.
Social studies and 3rd language should be made optiinal
Two option paper for maths superb.I wish it could be introduced for science also.especially for children opting for humanities and commerce.but still a great start.
