NEP 2020: Transforming the Examination System
NEP 2020 focuses on improving the exam system to prioritize real learning over memorization. The reforms are designed to make assessments more balanced, adaptable, and student-focused.
- Twice-a-Year Board Exams: Students now have the chance to appear for board exams twice a year, reducing pressure and allowing them to perform better.
- Competency-Based Evaluation: Exams will measure core knowledge, critical thinking, and conceptual understanding instead of relying on shallow recall.
- Flexible Exam Formats: The new structure includes a mix of objective questions, descriptive answers, and practical tests, ensuring assessments reflect practical knowledge.
- Role of NTA: Offers a high-quality common aptitude test, as well as specialized common subject exams, at least twice every year.
By aligning assessments with NEP 2020 in English standards, the policy shifts focus toward student growth, reducing dependency on coaching classes.
