Coming 2014, class 12 students of maths and science from one particular education board will not be able to complain about having to face together question papers and marking systems than their counterparts studying under other boards. The majority of educational boards conducting class 12 exams across the country have agreed in principle to have a common question paper design to make the school-leaving exams as uniforms possible in terms of difficulty.This is being done to give students a level playing field. Efforts began in 2010, when 20 educational boards, including the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) and Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE) adopted the core curriculum in maths and science.
IIT board asks CBSE to work on common design of question paper:
In 2011, all 29 educational boards in the country, has instituted a sub-committee comprising of state board members from Assam, Maharashtra, Bihar, Kerala and Rajasthan to work on the common design of question paper.The move is also likely to offer a level playing field to science students from students from different boards while appearing for centralized entrance examinations like the Joint Engineering (JEE) as well as the single medical entrance test. From this year the JEE(main) merit list to be conducted by CBSE will give 40% weight age to board results.Tags: Board exams 2013,XII and Xth Board exam schedule, CBSE board syllabus, JEE exams, question paper, education board.
