 "Exam Will Be Based On Syllabus, Not NCERT Books: CBSE")
A recent statement from the CBSE Examination Controller said the examination and assessment for the Board examinations will be done based on the "syllabus provided by the Board and not as given in the NCERT books". The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) prescribes NCERT textbooks for Classes 9, 10, 11 and 12 and according to the Board, "It has been brought to the notice of CBSE that in these books, at certain places, it is mentioned that particular part of the book is not for the purpose of examination/assessment".
"Similar instructions are given for the information/question provided in boxes also. It is for information of all concerned that this information is not applicable for the students who will be appearing in the Class X and XII examinations conducted by CBSE in 2020," the statement said.
A Board official told NDTV that examinations and assessments are conducted to check how deeper the students understand a subject.
"The aim of the examination or assessment is to check how holistically and deep a student understood the concepts regarding a subject. Keeping that in view, we cannot limit students to certain parts while they learn," the official said.
The Board also asked the schools and students to go through the Class 10 and Class 12 syllabus uploaded by CBSE on website (http://cbseacademic.nic.in/curriculum.html).
