What is CBSE?
CBSE full form stands for the Central Board of Secondary Education. CBSE is a national level board of education in India for private and public schools.
History of CBSE
In 1921, the first educational board in India was set up by the name of the Uttar Pradesh Board of High School and Intermediate Education. It was controlled by Rajputana, Central India and Gwalior.
In 1929, the Indian Government passed a resolution for inter-state integration and cooperation in the realm of secondary education for the establishment of a joint board named the Board of High School and Intermediate Education.
In 1952, the joint board came to be known as the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE).
Exams Conducted by CBSE
CBSE is the examination conducting body for the Class 10 Boards and Class 12 Boards exams every year in the month of March.
CBSE also conducts the Central Teacher Eligibility Test (CTET) for the selection of Teachers for the central schools across India.
Earlier, CBSE also conducted the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE-Mains), All India Pre Medical Test (AIPMT), National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET), National Eligibility Test (NET), Central Universities Entrance Test and many more. In 2014, CBSE had become the largest exam conducting body in the world. Post the setup of National Testing Agency (NTA) by the Union Government chaired by PM Narendra Modi, all of these exams were transferred to the NTA.
