CBSE examining proposal to allow use of calculator in class 12 accounts exams
The HinduThe Central Board of Secondary Education is examining a proposal to allow use of basic non-programmable calculators in class 12 accountancy exams to ease cognitive load associated with lengthy calculations, according to board officials. While CBSE allows students with special needs in both classes 10 and 12 to use calculators, the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations allowed class 12 students to use calculators in 2021. "The board's curriculum committee had proposed that basic, non-programmable calculators be allowed in class 12 accountancy examination, limited to functions necessary for typical financial calculations, such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and percentage calculations," a senior board official said. "To reduce the time spent on sending answer books to evaluation centres physically, the examination committee of the board proposed implementing On-Screen Marking which will entail scanning and uploading answer sheets for digital evaluation, ensuring a faster and more efficient evaluation process.
