The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has asked schools to provide 30 minutes extra time for Class IX and X students to complete their exams. This move will help to reduce exam stress. Class 9 and 10 will have to undergo summative assessment (Term-1) in the month of September 2010.

At present these students are allowed to take three hours to write their exams and, henceforth, they can write for half an hour more. The CBSE believes that this would help the students concentrate more on the questions and write answers at their own pace.

In a circular issued to all schools on August 2, Mr M.C. Sharma, controller of examination, CBSE, said that schools needed to have flexible timings for exams in order to cater to the different pace with which students responded to questions. Timing for the exam may vary from three to three-and-a-half hours depending on the student’s ability to answer the question paper, said the circular.

Last year, the CBSE had introduced various examination reforms, including continuous and comprehensive evaluation. However, several students had opposed it stating that instead of reducing their workload, it increased pressure. Mr Sharma said students studying in Class IX and X would be internally tested during examination.

  1. Do something for class XIIth also as marks of this year very much important and decisive for their future.

  3. what does this mean…that the time may vary from 3-3 1/2 hours depending on students’ capablity in answering?
    will we be getting 3and a half hours?
    our school usually provides 3 hours ..will there be an increase of half an hour?

  4. i want to ask that
    u r conducting first summative internally
    and it is a fact that many schools r cheating taking this as advantage
    these people get gud marks then what abt other schools who r honest???????
    i think this is unfair
    why don’t u consider the grades which r best in second summative
    for example a student got b1 in first summative and a1 in first summative so u can consider A1 grade ultimately for both the summatives
    please send a reply for this
