The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has announced a new assessment policy for Class 10 & 12 board exams 2025, aiming to make evaluations more competency-based and stress-free. These changes align with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 and are focused on conceptual understanding rather than rote learning.

✔️ On-Screen Marking System Introduced – To ensure faster and fairer evaluation, teachers will digitally check answer sheets.
