Plus-Two Students Could Be Studying Common Course For Science, Math 2011-12
Plus-two students across India could be studying the same
course for science and math from the 2011-12 session. Aimed at bringing about
uniformity in the syllabus and helping students prepare better for competitive
exams, the Council of Boards of School education in India (COBSE) — a forum of
school education boards in the country — has proposed a common course for all
national and regional boards. A draft of the new syllabus will be sent to the
boards by the end of December for their consideration and approval.
COBSE officials believe this will help remove the notion that some boards are
geared more towards competitive exams such as IIT-JEE while others are not. The
issue was discussed at a meeting of the heads of ICSE schools in Lucknow last

``There is a long-standing view among students that the CBSE course is better
suited for entrance exams. It was felt that other than helping remove this
impression, a common syllabus will lead to better assessment and ensure a level
playing field for entrance exam candidates across India. If all the boards
agree, the first common syllabus exam could be taken in 2012," said Jerry
Arathoon, officiating chief executive, ICSE.
