CBSE Class X and XII Board Exam Schedule released

Posted on January 4, 2014 by AC

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has announced the dates of the board exam for classes X and XII, thus ending all rumors and speculations about the exams being advanced.

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has announced the dates of the Class X and XII board exams, thus ending all rumors and speculations about both exams being advanced.

CBSE confirmed on Wednesday that it intends to stick to the same schedule as in the previous years.

The exams for both the classes will start from March 1. While Class X boards will be over by March 19, the Class XII examination will continue till April 17. This, according to the notification issued by the Board, will be applicable to all CBSE affiliated schools in India and abroad.

Apparently, no major changes have been made to the exam schedule compared to the 2013 boards.

Prior to this announcement, rumors and speculations were rife in Gulf countries including Qatar about the possibility of the examinations being advanced in the awake of the Indian parliamentary elections that will be held in the coming April or May. After CBSE denied all these rumors, many students from Gulf-based CBSE affiliated schools commented online that they were finally relieved knowing that the schedules won’t change.

However, some Class XII students complained that they could certainly use longer gaps between the main subjects such as, Mathematics, Biology and Chemistry.

“If we had a few more days in between chemistry, biology and mathematics, it would have been fantastic. All the major science subjects are completed by April 20,” said a student of an Indian school in Doha, Gulf Times reports.

Approximately 226,000 students across the Gulf countries registered for the CBSE Board Exam as compared to 217,000 students last year.

The increase in number of students appearing in the boards, according to experts, resulted from more schools joining the CBSE bandwagon.

CBSE’s new test method for evaluating ‘strength’ of students

Posted on December 18, 2013 by AC

The first ever Open Text Based Assessment (OTBA) also called the CBSE Open Book Exam will be administered by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) next year in March. More commonly referred to as the open book exam, this new method of assessment was termed by the Board as a feasible way to “cater to the varied abilities of individual strength of learners”, in addition to incorporating theoretical and analytical skills that drastically moves away from the memorization approach.

However, the teachers in Bangalore-based CBSE schools are of the opinion that the move lacks in clarity when it comes to the mode of assessment as well as the type of teaching strategies that would eventually be needed to accomplish the objective of developing a thorough evaluation process.

According to the circular issued to the heads of institutes affiliated to the Board, the new mode of assessment would be an integral part of the session-ending exam and comprises of 10 marks. Students will also be granted additional half-an-hour to attempt the OTBA question.

CBSE has already made available study materials in the form of diagram, case studies, pictures, cartoons etc. All questions in the exam will be subjective, open-ended or creative.

Meanwhile, J. Anantha Padamanabhan, principal, Kendriya Vidalaya, M.G. Railway Colony said that the new assessment method demands a drastic change in the conventional way of teaching.

“Teachers need to be trained to make students think analytically. This is not a mere fact-finding or information-gathering exercise. The OTBA aims to develop an analytical line of thinking among students,” he noted.

Because the themes are much broader, many teachers are of the opinion that there are a number of grey areas about how they are supposed to train the students.

“The CBSE has introduced several new programmes, from Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation to OTBA; they are introducing these concepts without providing any clarity. When our teachers themselves are unsure of how the assessment would be, how can we prepare for it?” said a class XI student while talking to The Hindu.

However, CBSE is arranging workshops in order to train teachers about the various aspects associated with OTBA.

GPAT 2014 Goes Online – To be a Computer based Test

Posted on November 13, 2013 by AC

The next edition of the GPAT, scheduled on Feb next year will be entirely computer-based. The following is a rundown of what changes applicants can expect from this change introduced by AICTE.

All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE), the statutory body overseeing technical education in India, announced earlier this year that they were making the National Level Graduate Pharmacy Aptitude Test (GPAT) entirely computer-based.

The GPAT, which happens to be a national level entrance examination, is held to accommodate the selection process for admission to M.Pharm programs in various institutions across the country

The GPAT 2014, according to AICTE notifications, will be held in 57 cities across the country.

It is worth mentioning that AICTE has been successfully conducting the online Common Management Admission Test (CMAT) for admission into PG management programs on a pan India scale. In fact, it is their success with the online CMAT that first persuaded the council to turn the GPAT into an online test.

In order to make sure that GPAT 2014 is executed flawlessly, the AICTE has directed the respective state secretaries dealing with technical education to inform all concerned States and Jurisdiction agencies about the revamped pattern of the examination.

The State Governments, under the new system, are required to register online free of charge for accessing scores as well as detailed merit list of qualified students.

AICTE claims that the decision to turn GPAT into a computer-based entrance exam brings along with it a multitude of positive outcomes, including:

· The online entrance test will allow students to select their preferred exam center (read: city) from a list of 57 designated locations across the country.

· Candidates are also allowed to select their preferred date of appearing in the exam (the forthcoming GPAT will be held from Feb 25 to Feb 27, 2014)

· All allotment will be made on a first come first served basis. However, the final allotment will be subject to the number of available slots in a particular city,

· The entire process will carve in the way for unprecedented transparency and accountability.

· 24 x 7 support will be available (GPAT helpline number: 022-66258304; Fax number: 022-25814283; email id: customercare@aicte-gpat.in)
