Reduced syllabus to support in-depth learning
According to a report in TOI, CBSE’s Bhopal regional officer, Vikas Kumar Agrawal, has stated that the syllabus for Classes 10 and 12 will be reduced by up to 15%. This adjustment aligns with CBSE’s goal to encourage students to delve deeper into subjects rather than simply covering extensive content. “The syllabus reduction aligns with the board’s evolving educational approach, offering students the opportunity to engage more fully with their subjects,” Agrawal noted.

A significant change is the increase in the weightage of internal assessments to 40%, with the remaining 60% based on final board exams. Internal assessments will include projects, assignments, and periodic tests, fostering a more continuous evaluation process. Agrawal emphasized that “this change encourages steady learning and gives students a better platform to demonstrate their understanding,” aiming to shift focus from high-stakes exams to consistent academic engagement throughout the year.
