CBSE Plan for Class 10th and 12th

CBSE has proposed significant changes to the academic framework for both Class 10 and Class 12 students. The alterations include a shift from studying two languages to three in Class 10, stipulating that at least two must be native Indian languages. Class 10 students may now be required to pass in 10 subjects, up from the current five. 

For Class 12, the proposed changes involve studying two languages instead of one, with the condition that at least one must be a native Indian language. Students would also need to clear examinations in six subjects instead of five to graduate from high school. Students now have to study five subjects i.e. one language and four subjects or electives.

According to the report, Class 10 students must now pass in 10 subjects, deviating from the current norm of five. Besides the three languages, the proposed seven main subjects for Class 10 include mathematics and computational thinking, social science, science, art education, physical education and well-being, vocational education, and environmental education.

As per the report, external assessments will be conducted for the three languages: mathematics and computational thinking, social science, science, and environmental education. Conversely, art education, physical education, and vocational education will involve a combination of internal and external examinations. However, students must pass all 10 subjects to progress to the next grade.

Implementation of National Credit Framework As Per NEP 2020

CBSE aims to implement a national credit framework in school education, aligning vocational and general education under the National Education Policy 2020. The plan outlines an academic year comprising 1200 notional learning hours, equating to earning 40 credits. Notional learning hours encompass all time spent on independent study, research, preparation, coursework, and revision to achieve defined outcomes. Each subject will be assigned specific hours, ensuring students spend 1200 learning hours yearly for a passing declaration. The rollout date for the credited system remains unspecified.
