Board Exams Twice a Year? 'X' Users Think Students are Lucky, Here's Why

As per Ministry of Education’s new curriculum framework, board exams will now be conducted twice a year and students will be given an option to retain the best score. The aim is to make board exams “easier” from the current “high stakes” practice. The examination will now be aimed at assessing the understanding and achievement of competencies rather than months of coaching and memorisation. As the news was broken among people on social media, many were shocked. People had mixed reactions for the same.
