“The secret of change is to focus all of your energy not on fighting the old, but on building the new.” – Socrates
The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is the governing body that conducts the Class 10th and 12th board exams in all the affiliated schools in India and abroad. For the academic year 2022-23, the board has revised its evaluation policy to align assessment to Competency-Based Education. In its official notification, CBSE has confirmed that in the forthcoming session, a greater number of Competency Based Questions or questions that assess the application of concepts in real-life/ unfamiliar situations will be a part of the question paper.
