CBSE class X exams ruled out from 2011

since the decision was taken in the middle of the academic year, students in class x this year will appear for the board examination as scheduled, but will be graded instead, central board of secondary education (cbse) chairman vineet joshi said. students will be graded into nine categories, from exceptional to unsatisfactory.though initially indications prevailed that students changing schools after class x would have to appear for the board examination, mr. joshi said that instead they would appear for an online/offline/on-demand assessment and would be issued certificates on pre-printed stationery supplied by the cbse and attested by the regional offices of the board. those students, at a later stage want to change the boards can also appear for the same assessment and obtain the board certification.  it will also be available to students who want an independent assessment of their academic skills.
