Impact of National Education Policy (NEP) 2020
The implementation of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 has ushered in a new era of educational reforms. As part of this initiative, the CBSE board has revamped its assessment pattern for the academic year 2023-24. The revised pattern emphasizes competency-based questions while reducing the weightage allocated to traditional short- and long-answer questions.
