Board exams for Class X must

New Delhi: Board exams for Class X are set to become compulsory for all CBSE students from 2018 as CBSE's governing body on Tuesday “unanimously approved" a proposal in this regard.
At the meeting of the Governing body, its members agreed that from 2017-18 academic sessions, compulsory Board exams should be introduced for all students of Class X.
The decision will now have to be approved by the government before it is implemented. Currently, it is optional for CBSE students to choose either the Board exam or a school-based examination.
HRD Minister Prakash Javadekar, in the past favoured making Board exam compulsory for CBSE students as is practiced by all state boards.
HRD sources said, “there is a view that for the Class X Board exams, 80 percent weight age will be given to the marks scored in examinations while 20 percent weight age will be given to school-based evaluation".
In another key decision, the CBSE has decided to recommend to the HRD Ministry the three language formula, under which Hindi, English and modern Indian language are taught, should be extended to class IX and X as well from the current VI to VIII levels.
