Students now studying in Class IX will have to "compulsorily" appear for Class X board exam
New Delhi:
According to the latest circular Central Board of Secondary Examination posted in the official website, it asked the schools that 'indigenous sports, Yoga, and NCC must be encouraged' to create "a sense of patriotism". The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has issued the remodelled assessment structure for the board exams according to which students appearing for the Class X exam next year will have to study for the entire syllabus. They will be required to score 33 per cent in both theory and internal assessment to pass.
Suggestions to encourage indigenous sports, yoga and NCC are part of health and physical education in the co-scholastic activities in the remodeled assessment structure. "Schools should promote co-curricular activities for the holistic development of the student. These activities will be graded on a 5-point grading scale (A to E) will have no descriptive indicators. No upscaling of the of grades will be done", said the notification.
Students now studying in Class IX will have to "compulsorily" appear for Class X board exam and will be required to study the entire syllabus, with CBSE issuing a notification in this regard.
In December last year, the CBSE announced its decision to make board exams mandatory, taking away the option of school-based exams.
According to the new structure, the board exams will carry 80 marks and internal assessment 20 marks. In the current format, the weightage is 60:40. Students will be tested for the complete syllabus in the theory papers.
For internal assessment, schools will have to conduct three periodic written tests in each subject, instead of the four formative assessments, and the average of the best two tests would be taken for final marks submission.
