CBSE plans open book board exams

CHENNAI: The Central Board of Secondary Education is planning to hold open book tests for students sitting for the Class 10 and 12 boards. The board introduced open text-based assessment in select subjects for students of Classes 9 and 11 this academic year. For the first time in the country, school students will take such a test this March.
CBSE chairman Vineet Joshi said the board was "actively considering" inclusion of the open book component in the boards. "It will change the way teaching and learning happens in the classroom ," he said.
The board will discuss the feasibility of extending the reform to board exam students in February. "After the Class 9 and Class 11 students take the test, we will get feedback from students and consider their views as well," Joshi said.
