CBSE for optional exam for Class X
THE CBSE has decided to introduce an optional “proficiency test” in June 2011 for those students who will clear Class X in March 2011 on the new pattern of continuous and comprehensive evaluation (CCE) rather than traditional board examination.
"A large number of parents feel that with no examination, the new system would be all about fun and frolic. We are trying to explain to them that instead of this, the new system would do comprehensive evaluation of their child. After discussions with parents and students from various parts of the country, we realised that there are some students who get motivated by examination only. For all such students, we will introduce an optional proficiency test, which will be conducted in June and will be voluntary," said CBSE chairman Vineet Joshi, who was at Millennium School here for a workshop meant to train CBSE principals about mentoring and monitoring under CCE in schools.
Joshi said soon the CBSE would release a circular to its schools to collect information about all such students.
"The pattern of the test would depend upon the number of requests we get. If the number of students opting for this test is not very large, we can go in for an online test. We can opt for centralised testing centres as well," he said.
The CBSE chairman said this test would have multiple choice type questions, where the students would just have to select answers. The students would also have the option to give the test in just one or any number of subjects that they wish to.
