Question

9 th annual bit paper

Answer 1

KOLKATA: From the 2018-2019 academic session, the 

Council for Indian School Certificate Examinations

 will frame 

question papers

 of “core subjects” of Class IX and XI annual examinations, which till now was done by its affiliated schools.


CISCE

 has also decided that all affiliated schools will have to compulsorily use the papers for internal annual assessment. While Hills schools will have to hold their annual exams in November/December, those in the plains will take theirs in February/March. The council will prepare two sets of questions, one for Hills schools and the second for the rest.


The Council for Indian School Certificate Examinations has taken the step to maintain “uniformity among its the affiliated schools across India and abroad regarding syllabus to be completed at Class IX and XI levels”, according to CISCE chief executive and secretary Gerry Arathoon. “This will help to streamline and strengthen the examination system further,” reads the circular from Arathoon.


Earlier, the council had proposed to frame the IX and XI papers from 2020. The suggestion was mooted by Arathoon at the annual conference of 

Association of Schools

 for the Indian School Certificate in Jaipur last December.
