Open textbook exams introduced by CBSE

Image
When Varad Puntambekar, a student of Class 11 in Bhopal, looked at his Biology question paper, two questions confused him. As part of the Open Text Book Assessment (OTBA) introduced by the CBSE this year, the questions asked him to apply textbook knowledge rather than pen down what he had ‘learned’. “When I figured it out, I realised how it was simply an application of theory to real life situations. I managed a very good score,” Varad exclaimed. The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) introduced OTBA for Class 9 (all subjects) and Class 11 (Geography, Economics and Biology). If the response is good, the board may extend the practice to Class 10/12 examinations. “We have introduced OTBA to steer students away from rote learning. Such an assessment will help children apply theories. We are considering extension of the same to Class 10 and Class 12 but haven’t decided yet,” CBSE chairman Vineet Joshi told HT. While teachers and principals say the move is ‘good and c

The leaked video of AAP Arvind kejriwal and Punya Prasun Bajpai

Watch Share & Comments on this Morons Selling Bhagat Singh for their Political Vendetta ! AAM AADMI PARTY was created in TV rooms and will be destroyed in TV rooms. AAP & Kejriwal generally are too vocal in saying media is paid. But in reality media has always helped AAP. So if media is paid (which we think is) then it must be paid by the group which is shown positively by them. We have seen Ashutosh (IBN) joining AAP. So anyone can guess how biased IBN was in favour of AAP. We had observed that AAJTAK used to show pro-AAP news. Even, its FB page was supporting AAP openly. Now, with this sting of Arvind Kejriwal and Punya Prasoon Bajpai (AAJ-TAK), anyone can understand the agenda of AAJTAK. The worst thing in that they are discussing about selling the idea of Bhagat Singh. SHAME on them!! And many many thanks to the person who has recorded the video  Transcript of the video : पुण्य प्रसून बाजपाई: हाँ ये  अरविंद केजरीवाल: वो वाला थोड़ा थियरेटिकल है, कॉर्पोरेट वाला आप जो बोल रहे
