New Delhi: Though the buzz was that the results of the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) may be declared on Wednesday for Class 10, it appears that the students will have to wait for at least a week more. As per reports, now the results may only be declared by the end of May.
More than ten lakh students are said to have appeared for these exams in 2012. As per sources, the results were to be announced in the third week of May.
However, there has not been any official confirmation of the two reports from concerned authorities. Once the results are out, it can be checked on the board’s official website - http://cbseresults.nic.in.
This is the first year where the CBSE is getting ready for a new idea it started last year called the ‘proficiency test’. The proposed test according to CBSE is to “measure an individual’s abilities and skills in a domain or subject to know how well he/she has learned, understood and internalised the related concepts and principles.” The initiative is supposed to help the Class 10 students to choose the right career path as it helps them to gauge their strength and weakness.
Nonetheless, this is an optional test. It is conducted for English, mathematics, social sciences, science and Hindi. It comprises of multiple choice questions and they have the option of taking one or more subjects.
