The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE)’s decision to increase exam fees for students appearing for board exams has invited sharp criticism from stakeholders.
Last week, the CBSE announced a hike in exam fees for students appearing for board exams in classes 10 and 12. According to reports, students from the Scheduled Castes /Scheduled Tribes will have to now cough up Rs 1,200 to sit for the exams while general students will have to pay Rs 1,500. Both categories of students were earlier paying Rs 750.
This decision will affect around 30 lakh students every year who take the class 10 and class 12 board exams conducted by the CBSE. The CBSE governs Kendriya Vidyalayas, Navodaya Vidyalayas, central schools and private schools across the country.
