CBSE boards optional from 2010

A great news for Class IX studying students that Class X board exams will be optional in all CBSE schools, from next academic year i.e 2010-2011.

CBSE will use the pattern of aptitude exams for all schools which will judge the level of understanding in each subject.

However, evaluations will be made on the basis of all over performance through out the year instead of a single public exam at the end of the year.
