The CBSE Board Exams in 2025 will introduce a revamped structure, aiming to foster critical thinking and application-based learning. A significant syllabus reduction will allow students to concentrate on core concepts. Notably, 50% of the exam questions will now be competency-based, marking a shift from traditional rote learning towards problem-solving and analytical questions. Structured response questions will decrease to 30%, further supporting this new approach.
Internal assessments will also gain importance, contributing up to 40% of the final grade, enhancing continuous learning and encouraging a more comprehensive view of student performance. These changes in syllabus, assessment format, and exam structure underscore CBSE’s shift towards a holistic educational model, setting students up for a more well-rounded academic experience.
