Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE)

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is a national-level board of education in India, managed by the Government of India. Established in 1929, it aims to provide a standardized curriculum and conduct examinations for public and private schools across the country. The board plays a crucial role in shaping the academic landscape for millions of students. CBSE offers a comprehensive curriculum, primarily following the NCERT framework, especially for classes 9 to 12. The board focuses on holistic development, integrating various initiatives like Art-Integrated Learning and skill-based courses to enhance practical knowledge and critical thinking among students. With over 27,000 affiliated schools in India and 240 schools in 28 foreign countries, CBSE is one of the largest examination-conducting bodies globally. It is responsible for conducting the Class 10 and Class 12 board examinations, and its syllabi are often used for national-level entrance exams. The board continuously evolves its policies and programs, including recent initiatives like the Career Guidance Dashboard and the Counseling Hub and Spoke School Model, to support student well-being and future readiness.
