Terming reports of a 15 % reduction in syllabus published on various online news portals and newspapers as fake news, CBSE issued a clarification on Nov 15 and said it has not made any changes to its examination system or internal assessment system, nor has any official notification been issued in this regard.
The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) on Nov 15 strongly refuted the news of a 15 % reduction in the syllabus of board exams 2025. Some news reports stated that there has been a significant reduction in class 10 and 12 syllabi, the CBSE issued a clarification while condemning what it called fake news.
“Concerning the news regarding a 15% syllabus reduction for Class 10 and 12 under the 2025 board examinations by the CBSE and the conduct of open-book exams in select subjects, which has been published on various online news portals and newspapers, please note that CBSE has not made any changes to its examination system or internal assessment system, nor has any official notification been issued in this regard,” CBSE said in a statement.
Therefore, CBSE refutes the said news, it added.
“The Board has not made any such policy decision. Any information regarding policy changes by the Board is issued only through the Board’s official website and circulars,” it said.
In line with National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, the Education Ministry has asked the CBSE to prepare a proposal for holding two board exams per year. As recommended by the National Curriculum Framework for School Education (NCFSE), the government is considering scheduling a second board exam for Class 12 students in June from 2026, sources were quoted as saying.
As per the information released by CBSE recently, the 2025 theory exams for classes 10 and 12 will start on February 15, 2025. However, a complete CBSE date sheet is awaited.
The practical exams, project works, and internal assessment for the 2024-25 academic session will be held from January 1, 2025, for all the CBSE-affiliated schools in India and abroad, officials were quoted as saying.
Also, there will be no announcement of toppers, distinctions, etc like the last year. Pertinently, CBSE had announced last year that the board will not award any overall division, distinction, or aggregate to the students appearing for the Class 10 and Class 12 exams in 2024. Also, the board will neither calculate nor declare and inform the % of marks.
