What Does the 2022-23 Revised CBSE Syllabus Say?
The board has revised the CBSE syllabus for 2022-23. The need for revision of the syllabus was felt, keeping in mind the need for students to learn and develop the skills to succeed careerwise.
There are 4 major changes, including syllabus reduction, the introduction of new topics and concepts, change in assessment pattern, and change in the evaluation system.
Let us discuss all of these one by one.
- Reduction in syllabus: There has been a significant reduction of 30% to 40% in the syllabus for classes 9 to 12. According to the new CBSE curriculum, shortening the syllabus will help student focus on the critical and most important topics that will benefit their future. This has enabled students to understand the subject matter better.
- Introduction to new concepts and topics: In English, the board has introduced additional grammar topics to enhance the writing and reading skills of the students. Mathematics now covers new topics such as probability, statistics, and data handling, so that students become aware of today’s data-driven world.
Furthermore, topics like artificial intelligence, renewable energy, and climate change have also been incorporated into the science curriculum.
- Assessment Pattern Changed: The board has replaced the term-wise assessment for classes 10th and 12th with only one year-end examination.
Even in subjects that do not include practicals, internal assessments will be conducted, accounting for 20% of the final grade Consequently, they are to be evaluated by their parents, teachers, or peers according to the guidelines of NEP 2020, with their marks adjusted accordingly.
- Changes in the Evaluation System: The CBSE syllabus for 2022-23 suggests adopting a grading system instead of marks, emphasising continuous and comprehensive evaluation. This type of evaluation system will enable students to learn at their own pace as well as reduce stress and anxiety associated with the pursuit of higher grades.
In class 10th, there would now be 40 % competency-based questions while in class 12th, it will constitute 30%, including MCQs, case-based, source-based integrated questions, or others. The majority of these questions are descriptive, while others are objective.
