New delhi, 22 february (press ki taquat bureau): The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) intends to conduct a trial of open-book exams (OBE) in selected schools for Classes IX to XII later this year.
This proposal was discussed during the board’s governing body meeting in December last year. However, the format will not be implemented in Class X and XII board exams. The purpose of the pilot run is to assess the time taken by students to complete these tests and gather feedback from stakeholders.
The plan aligns with the recommendations of the National Curriculum Framework and will undergo a pilot phase in schools to evaluate various aspects such as completion time, suitability for formative and summative assessment, and stakeholders’ perceptions, according to a senior board official.
