The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is one of the most prominent national-level education boards in India. It operates under the Ministry of Education, Government of India, and was established in 1962 to provide a uniform and standardized system of school education across the country.
CBSE is responsible for conducting Class 10 (Secondary School Examination) and Class 12 (Senior School Certificate Examination) for its affiliated schools in India and abroad. The board follows a student-centric and skill-based curriculum, emphasizing conceptual clarity, critical thinking, and practical learning. CBSE schools follow the NCERT syllabus, which is widely accepted and aligned with national competitive examinations such as JEE, NEET, and CUET.
Headquartered in New Delhi, CBSE has over 27,000 affiliated schools across India and in several foreign countries, making it one of the largest education boards in the world. The board regularly introduces academic reforms, including competency-based questions, continuous assessment, digital learning tools, and internal evaluations to reduce exam stress and promote holistic development.
CBSE also conducts important national-level examinations like CTET (Central Teacher Eligibility Test). With its focus on quality education, innovation, and global relevance, CBSE plays a crucial role in shaping the academic and professional future of millions of students every year.
