CBSE to allow basic calculator in Class 12 accountancy exams
Hindustan Times Mumbai
|March 23, 2025
The governing body of the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has ratified the proposal to allow use basic calculators during the Class 12 accountancy exam from the 2025-26 academic session among several reforms for syllabi, assessment of skill and vocational subjects, and the evaluation system.
NEW DELHI:
The decisions were ratified at CBSE's 140th governing body meeting held in December last year, but the minutes of the meeting were made public recently.
"Basic, non-programmable calculators will be allowed, limited to functions necessary for typical financial calculations, such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and percentage calculations," the proposal of the examination committee, which was ratified, said.
"The Board will provide clear guidelines regarding acceptable calculator models to ensure uniformity and prevent the use of advanced or programmable devices," it said.
