CBSE to hold 2021-22 board exams in 2 sets

CBSE declares new scheme for academic year 21-22. Academic year divided into two halves. First term exam in November. The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has decided to rationalize the syllabus for the academic session 2021-22 for Classes 10 and 12. The board exams for the 2021 batch will be held in two terms with 50 per cent syllabus in each term. A systematic approach -- looking into the interconnectivity of concepts and topics by subject experts -- will be followed. The board will conduct the examinations at the end of each term on the basis of the bifurcated syllabus.“This is done to increase the probability of having a Board conducted classes 10 and 12 examinations at the end of the academic session,” the CBSE statement read. CBSE, in the official statement said, efforts will be made to make the internal assessment, practical and project work more credible and valid. Moderation Policy, the board said, will be announced to ensure fair distribution of marks.
