Kapil Sibal in favour of scrapping Class X Board exams
In a move that could provide relief to Class 10 students , Union human resource development minister Kapil Sibal is planning to scrap the Class 10 board examination.
Sibal is of the opinion that examination-based system causes trauma to both the parents and the students. He also felt that the time had come to restructure the system and make it less strssful for the students.
Sibal said that since the student continued in the same school even after Class 10, board exams were not required.
However, Sibal said that a final decision in this regard would be taken only after consultations with the state education boards and schools.
The latest statement came in the backdrop of earlier assurance of reforms by the Minister in school as well as higher education.

UGC cautions students not to join off-campus centres of private Universities
UGC cautions students not to join off-campus centres of private Universities
Even as Bangalore University has cautioned students against enrolling themselves in 11 colleges affiliated to it for infrastructure inadequacies, the University Grants Commission (UGC) has sought to alert students against joining the off-campus centres of private universities established outside the territorial jurisdiction of the State where it has been permitted, Reports the Hindu
The UGC caution comes close on the heels of a probe being carried out by the Karnataka government to verify the legal status of more than 50 such off-campus centres of up-country private universities, which are on an admission spree, in various parts of the State, particularly Bangalore, by issuing advertisements in print as well as electronic media.
The UGC has pointed out that these private universities, which had been established by Acts of legislatures of different States, are neither empowered to affiliate an institution or college to it nor establish an off-campus centre outside the territorial jurisdiction of the State. ‘However, they can establish off-campus centres within the State concerned within the State concerned after their existence of five years and with the prior approval of UGC,’ said a statement from the UGC. Further, the UGC has stated that it has, so far, not approved any off-campus centre for any of the 39 private universities established in different States across India. ‘It has come to the notice of the UGC that some of the private universities has affiliated colleges and started off-campus centres beyond the territorial jurisdiction of their State in violation of UGC (Establishment and Maintenance of Standards in Private Universities) 2003…,’ the UGC stated.
