CBSE Board Explained
The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) plays the supervisory role in implementing all the
norms
as per the NCERT curriculum. Although constituted in the year 1929, the board was renamed as the
“Central
Board of Secondary Education” in 1952. Following extension of jurisdiction of its activities with fresh
amendments in its provisions of functioning, the board acquired absolute authority in exercising control
over the schools, which have affiliations from it.
Right now, the board runs 1500 affiliated schools in India and in 24 nations all over the world.
Curriculum
The Board takes all the initiatives to develop curriculum keeping in view the nationwide requirements for
education.
As it keeps the standards of quality as its prime objectives, it continuously carries out research and
development to
keep its curriculum at par with the best in the world.
The curriculum targets to provide adequate space for the holistic development of the children, both
physically and
mentally. From time to time, it has adapted and innovated upon unique methods to achieve the peak of
academic
excellence. Its students have always proved their mettle in various fields by performing exceptionally

young
students.

Academic Term
Under the CBSE system, for classes 6th to 9th, the assessment tests are held throughout the year instead
of
quarterly, half-yearly and annual examinations. These tests fall under the category of Formative
Assessment
(FA) and Summative Assessment (SA).
Assessment and Evaluation
At present, the pattern of the examination consists of two semesters with the following assessment
patterns;
Formative Assessment- Formative Assessment constitutes 3 activities and 10 marks allotted to each
activity:

Summative Assessment- The pattern of summative assessment is as follows;
- Written Examination- 90% Theory and 10% Practical
- Final Weight- 30 Marks

Two semesters would carry 100 marks in total for the entire academic year.
The Board also conducts various other important examinations, such as All India Pre-Medical and Pre-
Dental
Entrance Education and Joint Engineering Entrance (JEE) examination. The board has now launched
websites,
where the students could check their Std-X and Std-XII results of the Board examinations.
The students could log on to http://cbseresults.nic.in/class12npy/class12th17reval.htm to check the results
of
Std-XII examinations.
They could also log on to http://cbseresults.nic.in/class10rds/Class10th17All_reval.htm to check the
results of
Std-X final examination.
For assessment and evaluation, CBSE has introduced a uniform code that does away with the disparities
among
the schools, which had earlier introduced their own evaluation systems. Only after getting feedback about
students’ inconveniences during transfer of schools, it rolled out the new uniform code that all the schools
would
mandatorily follow for conducting examinations and appraising the results of the students in various
subjects.
