The information you provided is about the proposal for CBSE to conduct board exams twice a year in India. Here’s a breakdown of the key points:
- Currently in Proposal Stage: The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is considering conducting board exams twice a year.
- Logistics Being Worked Out: The Ministry of Education has asked CBSE to figure out the details of how this would work, including how to fit it into the academic calendar without affecting college admissions.
- Targeted Start Date: The proposed start date for twice-yearly exams is the 2025-26 academic session.
- Twice-yearly Exams, Not Semesters: This proposal involves two sets of exams at the end of the year, not a semester system with exams in the middle of the academic year.
