The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has recently addressed and refuted claims of a 15% reduction in the syllabus for Class 10 and 12 board exams scheduled for 2025. According to CBSE, no changes have been made to its examination system or internal assessment policies. The Board emphasized that any official updates or policy changes are communicated through their official website and circulars.
Clarification on Syllabus and Exam Policies
CBSE's official statement clarified that the reports of a syllabus reduction and the introduction of open-book exams for select subjects were inaccurate. The Board reiterated that no such changes have been implemented and advised students and stakeholders to rely only on official communication channels for accurate information.
Impact on Students and Schools
The clarification from CBSE aims to clear any confusion among students and educators regarding the upcoming board exams. With the theory exams for Classes 10 and 12 scheduled to start from February 15, 2025, and practical exams, project works, and internal assessments set to begin from January 1, 2025, it is crucial for students to stay informed through official sources.
Moving Forward
As the academic year progresses, CBSE continues to focus on providing a balanced and comprehensive evaluation system for students. The Board's commitment to transparency and accurate communication ensures that students can prepare effectively for their exams without any misinformation.
