CBSE teachers advise ‘split studies’ for split board exams

CBSE schools have discussed how the teaching-learning-assessment process should change after the board on Monday announced the two-part exam system for classes X and XII. Though syllabus rationalization was awaited, principals spoke to teachers about how they should prepare students on the new semester-like pattern of board exams from 2022.

The teachers advised the students to focus on the first half of the syllabus for the first exam and tackle the rest later. According to the new rule, the first term objective exams are likely to be held in November-December, and the second term, which will be subjective, in March-April. The board however mentioned the pandemic situation of the exam months would play a big role in taking a final call.

Schools are relieved there will be no overlap of syllabus between the two exams and pressure on students will reduce. Schools said much of the syllabus had been covered. Once the syllabus reduction was announced, students would find it easy to attend the November-December exams, they said.
For the first time, CBSE board exams will be held at “home centers” with external invigilators.
