The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) on
Wednesday 26th Sept announced that its board examinations will be
brought forward by almost a fortnight. The exams for vocational subjects in
classes 10 and 12 will be held in the second half of February instead of March
so that the results can be declared earlier. The board offers 40 skill
education (vocational) subjects in Class XII and 15 in Class X.
Some of
the vocational subjects offered in city schools are web applications,
multimedia, fashion studies and financial marketing. Typography, computer
applications, graphics and office communication are also offered as vocational
subjects elsewhere. The decision follows a court order. "The High Court of
Delhi in its judgment has directed Delhi University and CBSE to ensure from the
commencing academic year, that the result of CBSE, including results of
reevaluation are taken into account whilst determining the cut-off date for
admission to colleges of the University of Delhi," said a release issued
by the board.
The
examinations for all core academic subjects -- languages, maths, physics,
chemistry, biology, geography, economics, business studies, accountancy, economics
and more -- will be held in March as scheduled earlier.
The
heads of several CBSE schools in the city said conducting the exams in February
would also allow more time for evaluation and ensure quicker compilation of
results. The CBSE exams are at present held over seven weeks and more.
"The results are declared in the fourth week of May, and the re-evaluation
process can be completed only in end- July. By that time, admission to Delhi
University and many other universities is wrapped up," the release said.
The
subjects for which the exams will be held in February and in March will be
notified on the board website (https://www.cbse.nic.in) next week.
