Edu ministry asks CBSE to hold board exams twice a yr

"We have asked the CBSE to work out the modalities of holding board exams twice a year," the source said.

"We also plan to hold wider consultations with CBSE-affiliated school principals in May.

There are 28,000 CBSE schools. We will invite 100 of them (school principals) and ask the rest to join online," the official sources said. However, the plan to introduce a semester system has been ruled out.

In the meeting with school principals, the ministry and CBSE will discuss the modalities and seek suggestions on how best to take the proposal forward, which was announced under the new curriculum framework (NCF).
