Question: It is mentioned in the Circular that March 2011 Class X examination will be based on the syllabus published in 2011 Curriculum document. But nothing has been mentioned about question paper pattern. Please clarify

Answer by CBSE: In the light of recent changes introduced under CCE scheme, the termwise details of syllabus and question paper pattern for March 2011 are being worked out. Please wait for some time.

Question: If a candidate appearing in class-X Board Examination this year fails, will he/she have to appear in Board examination again or go alongwith the new scheme of optional Board examinations.

Answer by CBSE: He/She will be dealt with under the existing Board Examination scheme only.

Question: Sir, I have failed in Class XII non-medical stream examination held this year. As a private candidate, I want to change Computer Science to some other subject. What is the procedure?

Answer by CBSE: As per existing examination rules, change of subject, as desired by you, is not allowed.

Question: My son is studying in class XII in commerce stream. He wants to offer Economics as an additional sixth subject. The school authorities are not agreeing. What to do?

Answer by CBSE: A candidate must have studied a subject for two years. So, according to rules, he is not eligible to offer a new subject at this stage.

Question: It is being claimed that removing Class-X Board examination will reduce tension. Will it not be better to prepare the students to face tension and become stronger citizens?

Answer by CBSE: It is certainly not advisable to put the students to excessive tension due to examination, particularly during impressionable age and stage. There are other better methods to motivate them for academic excellence. One of these is to create challenging tasks and situations for brighter students. Better learning takes place in a supportive and friendly environment than in a threat situation.

Question: Sir, Parents prefer to admit their wards to CBSE affiliated schools instead to Kerala State Board schools mainly due to strong Curriculum framework and examination pattern of CBSE. Introduction of grading system by Kerala Board was not appreciated by the people. The new grading system introduced by CBSE may also meet the same fate.

Answer by CBSE: Please go through the circulars carefully. These are available on CBSE website www.cbse.nic.in . There will neither be reduction in syllabus nor dilution in standard of examinations. The question papers designed by the Board will be used by the schools, The curriculum is being re-organised but not diluted. Grading system is certainly more sound.
