anyone been there ever? i need to go there to check the process of re-issuing of someone's class X certificate. i fear government bodies. anyone has any idea on how to get this thing done?
 
Been there a few times in my school days to get my 12th certificate and other work too, wasn't much of a hassle back then, dunno how it is now. There is a small information counter/form counter etc etc... outside, you can get the information on how to get the certificate from there.
 
it would be painful to visit the place multiple times to get the certificate... i doubt they can generate it on the spot for me. or they mail it to the address on the form.i hate getting into situations like these 🙁
 
Ushering in what could be the biggest change in the country's school examination system, the Central Board of Secondary Education will introduce an 'open book' section in the final exams for classes 9, 10 and 11 from the current academic year and for class 12 boards from next year (2014-15).
For the 'open book' section — which doesn't mean books can be taken inside the exam hall — students will be given case studies in each subject four months in advance. All questions will be from the given material. This section will carry 20% weightage.

"This section will have questions based only on the case study given to students. The idea is to do away with rote learning and improve students' ability to understand and apply concepts," said CBSE chairman Vineet Joshi.

You should feel lucky that such things were not introduced in your time. CBSE is messing up with the education system heavily and students are paying the price.
 

They may be required but problem is the implementation. This openbook is not even openbook. They are giving you 4 months to mug it all up. CBSE has made so many changes in past few years that a student will hardly know what its like to fail academically in 12 years of his school life and by the time he has to face real world, it will be too late.
 
CBSE has already messed up 10th exams by giving options to students to take school or CBSE exam!
 
60%? Who told you? No way. Each year is divided into 6 sections - four formatives and 2 summatives. Now for each section, certain marks say 20 or 40 in some cases are reserved for so assignments, projects and the like. I don't see how they are extra curricular activities. Most of the students get full marks from here because neither the school nor the teachers want to look bad by failing them over things like not submitting the assignments or not completing group activities which are mostly trivial and in many schools not even implemented properly. They are just new excuses to give grace marks. Teachers have been asked to promote students by making adjustments. Thanks to a super complex and illogical grading system, students never come to know their marks and their real performance and most of the failure cases get promoted.
 
Coming to the real "open book" where students are allowed to take books inside the examination hall.
Where this system is currently applied in india? last i heard in bihar it's there

I meant extra curicular + internal unit exams.
 
If you are talking about the co-scholastic areas, they are just grades and some schools mark the grade according to their own will because many schools don't have the facilities. And moreover they are just grades and as of now hold no importance. There is no 60% clause as such and neither those grades are clubbed with the main result.
