'Experiment in education': Students react to CBSE’s plan of one board exam from next year

NEW DELHI: Students are unhappy and disappointed with the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE)’s plan to conduct board exams only once a year from the next academic session. While some called it an “experiment” of the board, others asked CBSE to rather focus on term 2 board exams 2022 urging for the exam pattern in term 2 similar to term 1.

Some students demanded multiple-choice questions (MCQs) in CBSE term 2 board exams and said, “Instead of Thinking and planning for next year. CBSE should understand the issues #Students are facing!”
