CBSE will conduct exams under 'summative assessments' for classes IX and X in schools which are offering vocational subject from the coming academic session.
All CBSE-affiliated schools offering vocational subjects as 6th subject in class IX and X will receive question papers for board-based as well as school-based examination.
The schools opting for board-based examination will get the board papers and the students will have to appear for the examinations at the allotted centres.
On the other hand, schools opting for school-based examination will receive the question papers and marking scheme for academic and vocational subjects through email, said CBSE in a statement issued today.
CBSE has asked schools offering vocational subject as optional to download the question papers of academic subjects from CBSE-Integrated Test Management System (CBSE ITMS).
CBSE has decided to conduct practical assessment for vocational subjects under National Vocational Education Qualification Framework, carried out internally by the schools.
