No Term Wise Exams From CBSE Board Exam 2023
As per the notice released by CBSE in context to the CBSE Board Exam 2023 assessment scheme, there will be no term-wise exams as adopted in the last year.

In this initiative, the students will be introduced to multiple aspects such as aligning assessment to competency-based education, developing exemplar resources for teachers and students on CBE pedagogy and assessment, and continued teacher capacity building. In context to the circulars, the board will be initiating changes in the exam pattern and assessment scheme for the board exam year 2022-23 in order to align the assessment to CBE.
