Have designed this blog keeping in mind the requirements of the school going students, though many of the topics can be beneficial for others also but main target is to cater the needs of CBSE school going children. Will try my best to cater to their other needs also like - material related to various competitive exams will be posted on the blog, so that other then their regular studies, students can concentrate on competitive exams also.

Class 10 board exams likely to return from 2018
The government is set to announce the reintroduction of the Class 10 board exam for students affiliated with the Central Board of Secondary Education(CBSE), India's largest national school test-conducting body.
The announcement is likely to be made by HRD minister Prakash Javadekar on October 25 and will be his first major decision after taking over as HRD minister in early July. The Class X boards are likely to be back from 2018.
The CBSE Class 10 board examination was scrapped in 2010 and replaced with the current continuous and comprehensive evaluation that provides for tests and grading through the year as a means to reduce pressure on students.
Reasons for reintroduction of the Class X Board examinations include feedback from states and representative organisations of parents and teachers that doing away with the exam along with the no-detention policy was affecting academic standards, even though studies indicated that the number of drop-outs has reduced.
