About CBSE

The Central Board of Secondary Education, India’s national board of education, holds control over curriculum and examination standards after it became an autonomous institution in 1962. The board implements a 10-year education system with standards set by the National Council for Educational Research and Training, which it also monitors.

The Central Board of Secondary Education was established in May 1953 by an act of Parliament to coordinate and regulate secondary school education throughout India. It was established under the recommendation of the Four-Year Plan Committee. The act also sought to make the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), an autonomous institution. The first committee set up under the act instituted the 10-year course in school education for secondary school students after receiving much criticism. This grading system is maintained at present. Graduates are awarded a diploma after passing specified courses for diplomas, national finals, state finals, and central board exams (CBSE).

Essential Study Tips for Class 10 CBSE Exam

As you prepare for the CBSE Class 10 exam this month, here are a few study tips that will help you ace the exam.

1. Use notes to help memorize vocabulary and word usage that might stump you in an essay or an interview. You can even use apps like Evernote to take pictures of sentences and words and add them straight to your notes to speed up your learning process.

2. Get a good night’s sleep and eat a healthy breakfast each morning. Good sleep and a healthy breakfast will give you the energy you need to study all day long. It will also ensure that you don’t get cranky or exhausted, which is surely not conducive to learning.

3. If you aren’t understanding a particular theory or concept, try teaching it to somebody else (your parents, sibling, or friends). By teaching it to somebody else, you’ll see if there are any holes or muddles in your understanding of that theory or concept and you can then work out ways of rectifying your mistake.

4. If you’re too stressed to study, then try going for a 5-minute walk or a 20-minute run to get the stress out of your system. This will allow you to return to your books refreshed and with renewed energy.

5. While revising, highlight important words and concepts from the book so that you can remember them better during an exam. It would also help if you took notes using colored pens in order to make your revision easier.
