According to sources in the CBSE, the Class X results are likely to be declared on either May 19 or May 20, 2015. "The Class XII results are likely to be ready by May 25 and the board will declare it by May 27 or May 28, 2015," said an official in the exam branch.

The board officials said that the Class XII results could be declared in two or three phase - Chennai region could be the first region to get the results and then the Patna and Bhubaneshwar region in the third phase. The All India results are likely to be declared on May 27, 2015.

In Class X, a total of 13,73,853 students registered for the exam this year, which is around 3.3% increase from that of 2014. In Class XII, a total of 10,40,368 students registered for the exams this year, of which 6,07,383 are boys and 4,32,985 are girls.

CBSE's 'surprise' may be a signal for reforms in exams: Hindustan Times

The ‘tough’ mathematics paper in the CBSE’s Class 12 exam has again brought to the centre stage the wisdom of making optional the Class 10 board exam for students. It was the UPA government’s decision.

The minister concerned, Kapil Sibal, had then said that the board exams were not always the “right measure” of a student’s talent. It is true students of the age of 15-16 are temperamentally not often suited to appear for a very important exam on which much of their future depends. This is particularly true for students with a less affluent background.

Many of them tend to give up education after failing in the Class 10 exam. But there can be a counter-argument also.

The Class 10 exam is a relatively simple affair, not only in the case of the CBSE but some other state boards also. And it was seen to prepare the soil for students to get ready for tougher exams, including the competitive ones. It is for this reason that there are reports of making it mandatory again.

The general complaint about the Class 12 maths paper was that it had a high proportion of tough questions, which is against the norm that the board follows in question setting.

If this is a fallout of a change in policy, the board owes an explanation to the candidates because to appear for the IIT entrance exam, a minimum level of marks is necessary. If a student has prepared for his exam keeping a certain format in mind, it is unfair to expect him to perform equally well in a changed format.

Should the CBSE consider bringing back the mandatory Class 10 exam, it can introduce a reformed structure.

For instance, there can be two types of physics courses of different standards, and students can take just one of them though opting for the easier variety may deprive them of the chance to take up science in Class 11.

Similarly, for Class 12 there can be two papers in mathematics, though the courses could be the same. If a student finds at some stage of his plus two course that a career in science or engineering is not up his street, he could appear in the simpler maths test. This way a lot of embarrassment can be avoided.

Easy Chemistry Paper brings respite

The CBSE Class 12 chemistry paper on Thursday gave students a reason to smile as it was an easy and happy change after the horror of last exam, physics. Students were seen satisfied with the length of the question paper and were able to complete the exam well in time.

Students were under great pressure after the physics exam on March 9 as they found the paper to be of a completely different format which made the students and teacher panic.

"I am feeling so relaxed now as the paper was really easy and nothing was out of syllabus and exactly according to the sample papers. I was expecting the paper to be just as twisted and difficult as the physics exam but fortunately it didn't happen this time," said Brijesh Aggarwal, a Class 12 student.

Kavita Das, principal of St John's High School said though this paper was very easy and simple, the students should have been given more time between the two science exams.

"It is really difficult for the students to prepare well within a mere two-day gap between two science subjects and the board should have taken a note of it," she said.

CBSE BANS SCHOOL INTEGRATED PROGRAMMES

Central Board of Secondary Education has asked all its affiliated schools through a circular to ban running of coaching institutions inside the school premises that claim to prepare students for entrance examinations like the Joint Entrance Examination All India Entrance Examination for admission to the IITs or other engineering colleges or National Eligibility Test for medical colleges .

Criticizing the practice as a commercial activity and a 'malpractice' the circular from CBSE secretary Joseph Immanuel said on not complying to the instructions mentioned in the circular that is a condition stipulated in CBSE's affiliation bylaws, the board is liable to take actions against the school.

"No coaching classes or parallel classes should be run in the school that consumes and affects the regular timetable of the school or that [affects] the focus of students on the regular course of study," said the circular.

The move however has attained mixed reaction. Where some students and their guardian find the practice a help as it saves their time in finding an alternative coaching center, others find the move by the board progressive as students not enrolled with the coaching centre face inequality in receiving learning.

Schools running coaching institutes often add it as its selling point helping them to hike fee structure irrationally. Some of these schools charge as much as Rs 4 lakh to 6 lakh for the courses they conduct as a package from Classes 8 to 12.

My Viewpoint: Well I welcome this move as such programs are basically promoting commercial interests instead of serving the students.
