CBSE announces 2022-23 syllabus for Classes 10, 12; abandons two-part exam

NEW DELHI: The Class 10, 12 syllabi of the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is not divided into two terms for the 2022-23 academic year, as per the new syllabus announced by CBSE for Classes 9, 10, 11 and 12. The two-term system introduced by CBSE during the COVID-19 pandemic period has been discontinued by the board in the CBSE syllabus 2022-23. The CBSE curriculum for the academic year 2022-23 can be downloaded from the CBSE official website -- cbseacademic.nic.

During the COVID-19 second wave, CBSE had to resort to alternative assessment methods to evaluate students. To avoid such a situation, the board introduced a two-term system, where two exams were conducted by CBSE. The CBSE term 1 exam was conducted for Classes 10 and 12 in the months of November and December of 2021. While CBSE term 2 exams are scheduled to be conducted in April-May 2022. Such a method was adopted to ensure that the board has at least one exam by the end of the academic year to assess the students' performance.
