The Central Board of Secondary Education - commonly known as CBSE came into existence in the year 1962. CBSE is a non government educational board. It has its head office in Delhi. Also it has 8 regional offices across the country.
CBSE is working hard to give quality education to the schools affiliated with it. Many schools in India and outside India are affiliated to CBSE. Classes 9 to 12 are considered as the most important classes therefore CBSE itself prepares the syllabus for these classes. It conducts two important examinations every year- the All India Secondary Certificate Examination (AISCE) for class 10th and the All India Senior Secondary Certificate Examination (AISSCE) for class 12th. These two exams are very important and the students take them seriously as the scores in these two exams are responsible for taking admissions in different undergraduate programs and colleges. CBSE as an organization recognized worldwide so it helps the students to get admission anywhere in the world. All the KV’s (Kendriya Vidyalaya) are affiliated to the CBSE board.
The role of CBSE does not end here. In addition to school exams for classes X and XII CBSE also conducts other major exams such as AIEEE and AIPMT. The AIEEE (All India Engineering Entrance Examination) is an all India engineering examination for those who want to take up engineering as a subject for higher studies after their class 12th. CBSE also conducts AIPMT (PMT/PDT) - the All India Pre Medical Test (Pre Medical Test/ Pre Dental Test) for those who want to get into the medical field.
Recently CBSE has also introduced the grading system for class 10th which according to them will help in reducing the pressure from the minds of student as well as their parents. According to CBSE, this system will decrease the number of bad results that they were getting in the past. As per the grading system those scoring between 100-91 will get A1 and would be considered as a 10 pointer. The next grade is A2 for those who score between 81-90. Similarly B1 for 71-80, B2 for 61-70, C1 for 51-60, C2 for 41-50, D for 33-40, E1 for 21- 32 and E2 for those who are below 20. With a difference of every 10 marks, 1 grading point would be deducted.
Good news for those who are going to appear for their class 10th board exams this year. CBSE has made class 10th board exams optional from the next academic year. A new system of evaluation known as CCE (Continuous Comprehensive Evaluation) has been introduced. It comprises of formative assessment and summative assessment. According to the CBSE, students will be evaluated on both the basis. In formative assessment, evaluation will be done on the basis of their performance in class work, homework, assignments, and project work. In summative assessment, two term examination will be conducted- one in the starting and one at the end of the term. The first term will carry 20 marks and the second term will carry 40 marks.
Every year CBSE is trying to make the quality of education even better. The introduction of the new evaluation system makes it clear that CBSE is leaving no stone unturned to make learning easy for its students.
