From next year Students appearing for Class X Board exams will have to study six subjects instead of five with the CBSE remodelling its assessment scheme.

Presently Class X students study five subjects – two languages, social science, mathematics and science. From the next academic session, students also have a choice of studying a Vocational Subject as an “additional” course.

However, from the next academic year 2017-18, it will be compulsory to study a vocational subject. The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has remodelled its assessment scheme for Class X Board examination for schools offering vocational subject as compulsory subject under the National Skills Qualifications Framework (NSQF).

“If a candidate fails to pass in any one of the three elective subjects – Science, Social-Science, Mathematics, then it will be replaced by the vocational subject (offered as sixth additional subject),” a CBSE circular said.

“The board exam result will be computed accordingly. However, if a candidate desires to reappear for the failed subject they can appear in the compartment examination,” it added.

Students can choose 6th subject from 13 options – Dynamics of Retailing, Information Technology, Security, Automobile Technology, Introduction to Financial Market, Introduction to Tourism, Beauty and Wellness, Basic Agriculture, Front Office Operations, Banking and Insurance, Marketing and Sales, Food Production and Health Care Services.

According to the circular, the maximum marks for the subject will be 100. From now the board exam will be of 50 marks, and 50 marks are allocated to internal assessment/practical examination.

To pass the subject candidates will have to score 33 per cent marks in both board exam and practical exam. Because of the less enrollment numbers CBSE has taken another major decision. CBSE has decided to do away with seven Academic Electives and 34 vocational subjects for Class XII.
