Importance of Class 12 CBSE Board Exam
CBSE curriculum is important
to prepare for the CUET as well as othe entrance exams.
Based on the comparison of
pass percentage of last year and this year 2023 there is a significant drop of
5.4% (21,959). The overall pass percentage is 87.33%. that is 1,12838 students
have scored 90% or above in comparison to 1,34,797
By seeing this some
academicians says the due to the introduction of CUET for admission to UG
courses has reduced the importance and relevance of class 12th Board
exam.
But some academicians says it
due to the learning gaps generated by the pandemic.
CBSE says the comparison is
not correct as the standard condition of the examination were different, in
other words, if we look into the examination(criteria) patterns of last five
years which is totally different from each other.
In 2019 and earlier and in
2023, normal examination held
In 2020 half the examination
held and result declared by using tabulation policy
In 2021 no examination held
due to pandemic and result were declared based on school assessment with
tabulation policy
In 2022 two exams were
conducted Tern-I is objective and Term-II subjective.
We must not also forget that
the 2023 appeared class 12th is the same batch who had no exam in their
class 10 due to pandemic.
So students were completely
out of touch with pattern of written examination. When the regular classes were
resumed last year the academic gaps were visible with reluctance to write
answers is the main culprit of this year’s dip in passing percentage.
According to some academic
experts, since the CUET follows CBSE syllabus an average student who has scored
50-60% in board exam can easily revisit his weak areas and increase his chances
to get into his desired college.
Science students appearing
several entrance examinations do not feel that the board exam is becoming
redundant. According to some experts if they are thorough with the class 12th
syllabus they can get good score in their board exam as well as clear the CUET
easily.
But some experts are of the
opinion that since there is no weightage of class 12 board result in the CUET
the board exam will lose its importance as students will be confused whether to
focus for board exam or prepare for CUET. According to them the CUET must give
some weightage to the Board exam marks. This will help in striking a balance.
