CBSE Board Exams to get tougher, 10 % more Competency questions
Schools working on teaching strategies reform to develop student’s competency in application of concepts
Central Board of Secondary Examination (CBSE) Class 12 and Class 10 board examinations will get tougher from this academic session, as students will be required to answer questions assessing applications of concepts. Schools in Indore are discussing and contemplating practical learning strategies to prepare students for the examinations.
The board examinations in Academic Session 2022-23 will have greater number of Competency Based Questions (CBQ) or questions that assess application of concepts in real-life/ unfamiliar situations will be part of the question paper.
CBSE has developed the modifications in Examination and Assessment practices for the year 2022-23 to align assessment to Competency Based Education (CBE).
Class 9 & 10: 40% CBQs, fewer Objective ques
• CBQs would be minimum 40 per cent. This is an increase of 10 per cent. These can be in the form of Multiple Choice Questions, Case based Questions, and Source based Integrated Questions or any other types.
• Objective Type Questions will be 20 per cent.
• About 40% short answer/long answer questions.
Class 11 & 12: 30% CBQs, 50% short/long answer ques

CBSE working to implement CBE in steps
“CBSE has taken multiple steps towards the implementation of CBE in schools. These range from aligning assessment to CBE, development of exemplar resources for teachers and students on CBE pedagogy and assessment and continued teacher capacity building. The general requirement of CBE based education is necessary to ensure that students are acquiring the knowledge and skills that are deemed to be essential to success in school, higher education, careers, and adult life.”

Changing traditional teaching to experiential learning
“CBE allows students to advance based on their ability to master a skill or competency at their own pace regardless of environment. Some basic plans that we have worked on for CBE include working on training assessment and needs. We need teachers to be well-equipped to implement the new education technique. This isn’t possible without teachers’ changing their approach. Instead of telling a child about formulae, we have to give them a problem and seek their solutions, coming to learning the formulae. It’s much like reverse learning than traditional teaching now.”
