CBSE enters the digital world

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) that has always been one step ahead of others in digitizing the process of its interaction with schools, is now keen on getting more and more things online.

Very recently, the board also presented the details of various e-initiatives taken by it in the last few years. As a step towards going digital, CBSE will now have a digital platform where external examiners will be able to to list Class 12th marks list on to the server. Not only this, but it will ease the task for schools by providing them access to generate and download questions for all exams (except for Board examination classes).

This is what Rama Sharma, CBSE Public Rrelationship Officer, said, “The board has leveraged the use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) to provide state of the art facilities to the stakeholders worldwide. Around 17,000 schools have been brought under the ambit of the digital programme of CBSE. The switch over from manual to technology driven system has led to prompt access, retrieval and increased responsiveness. The benefits in terms of time, energy, manpower and finances are visible and appropriate for this unique initiative of the board.”

Adding to its list of initiatives is an online authentication of CBSE Central Teachers Eligibility Test (CTET), and E-CBSE, a user friendly web-based feature using which schools can generate roll numbers for main exams, make corrections, upload pictures, and all this with just few clicks.
