"Write descriptive answers and don't just rely on multiple choice questions” Mulls the CBSE Board. 


The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is planning a big systemic change in the months to come.

CBSE chairman Rajesh Chaturvedi said that Class 10 board examinations would be revived from 2018 as there is a growing opinion in its favour. In August, the decision to resurrect the Class 10 boards was mulled over during a meeting between HRD minister Smriti Irani and the Central Advisory Board of Education.“We will not be able to do it in 2017 as time is short but we will certainly like to go ahead with it from 2018 as it has become important in the context of improving quality. In any case, the state boards are continuing with the board exams,” he said.Chaturvedi said the matter of re-introducing the examination would be discussed at the next education ministers’ conference and with the ICSE and state boards under the direction of the ministry of human resource development (MHRD).“Students need to be made to write descriptive answers and not just rely on multiple choice questions,” he added.
