over the schools, which have affiliations from it.
Right now, the board runs 1500 affiliated schools in India and in 24 nations all over the world.

The Board takes all the initiatives to develop curriculum keeping in view the nationwide requirements for
education.
As it keeps the standards of quality as its prime objectives, it continuously carries out research and

The curriculum targets to provide adequate space for the holistic development of the children, both

websites,
where the students could check their Std-X and Std-XII results of the Board examinations.

For assessment and evaluation, CBSE has introduced a uniform code that does away with the disparities
among
the schools, which had earlier introduced their own evaluation systems. Only after getting feedback about
students’ inconveniences during transfer of schools, it rolled out the new uniform code that all the schools
would
mandatorily follow for conducting examinations and appraising the results of the students in various
subjects.
