CBSE Introduces Open-Book Exams for Classes 9 to 12, Pilots Scheduled for November Implementation

CBSE is considering Open Book Examinations (OBE) for Classes 9 to 12, following the new National Curriculum Framework. A pilot run is proposed for selected schools later this year, assessing time taken and stakeholder feedback. OBEs allow students to use notes and textbooks, emphasizing understanding over memorization. Concerns have been raised, leading to legal challenges, particularly on potential discrimination against those lacking internet access. Despite this, Delhi University implemented OBEs for final-year students with varying time allowances. #educationgossip
