Central Board of Secondary Education

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is India’s national education board offering a structured curriculum from primary to senior secondary levels. It emphasizes conceptual understanding, critical thinking, and skill development over rote learning. CBSE includes core subjects like Mathematics, Science, Social Science, and Languages, along with co-curricular and life skills education. At senior levels, students can choose from Science, Commerce, or Humanities streams. The board uses Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE) and conducts major national exams for Classes X and XII. The curriculum aims to prepare students for higher education, competitive exams, and responsible citizenship.

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) was established in 1929 by the Government of India to provide a national-level, standardized education framework. It evolved from the "Board of High School and Intermediate Education" in Rajputana and was reconstituted under the Ministry of Education.

CBSE is affiliated with over 27,000 schools in India and abroad, including Kendriya Vidyalayas, Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas, private institutions, and overseas schools.

  • AISSE (Class 10)
  • AISSCE (Class 12)
These exams evaluate student knowledge and are supplemented with internal assessments.

Students must score at least 33% in each subject (theory and internal combined) to pass. CBSE also promotes Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE).

CBSE has affiliated schools in over 26 countries including UAE, Nepal, Singapore, and Saudi Arabia, mainly serving Indian expatriate communities.
