CBSE Releases Syllabus For 10th, 12th Exams 2023: Two Term System Discontinued

The Central Board of Secondary Education has announced the new syllabus for classes 10 and 12 for the academic session 2022-23. Authorities have not divided the class 10 and 12 syllabi into two terms for the 2022-23 academic year. CBSE introduced the two-term system during the COVID-19 pandemic period in 2021. However, they have now discontinued it for the session 2022-23. The CBSE curriculum for the academic year 2022-23 can be downloaded from the CBSE official website – cbseacademic.nic.

During the COVID-19 second wave, CBSE had to resort to alternative assessment methods to evaluate students. To avoid such a situation, the board introduced a two-term system, where they conducted two exams. Officials conducted the term 1 exam for classes 10 and 12 in November and December 2021. Meanwhile, they are scheduled to conduct the term 2 exams in April-May 2022. CBSE had adopted such a method to ensure that the board has at least one exam to assess students’ performance by the end of the academic year.
