CBSE has highlighted the need to shift from rote to competency-based learning, which will ensure the students get wide exposure in terms of logical thinking and creativity. The competency-based education mechanism will gear up the students to face the challenges in the 21st century. It will boost their problem-solving abilities and capabilities to deal with real-life issues. CBSE has mentioned the need of shifting the assessment pattern from analyzing the rote memorization skills of the students to checking their problem-solving abilities. The competency-based learnings will test their higher-order skills like critical thinking, analysis skills, and conceptual clarity.

Changes for Class 9 to 12 Internal Assessment and Broad Examination – Moving towards this initiative, CBSE has decided to make some beneficial changes in the Examination and Assessment pattern of the upcoming batches. Although the marking scheme and duration of the examination will remain the same, the upcoming examinations will include a greater number of competency-based questions that will teach the students the actual application of the concepts and theories they mug up.
