&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;A panel set up by the human resource development ministry has recommended a uniform syllabus in math and science subjects for Classes XI-XII across all senior secondary boards.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The decision is likely to be implemented from the 2017-18 academic year, an HRD ministry official said. It is learnt that the recommendation is acceptable to all 30 senior secondary boards in the country.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, the panel headed by A. Ashok, the secretary of the Board of Intermediate Education of Telangana, has suggested that state boards be given 30 per cent flexibility while designing the curriculum for these subjects, sources said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Syllabus refers to chapters and units to be taught in a particular subject in a class. Curriculum covers the entire gamut of teaching-learning activities in the subject, including assignments, projects, tutorials, presentations and tests.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A uniform syllabus will provide students across boards a level playing field while competing at the national level in exams like the Joint Entrance Examination - Main and Advanced for engineering and the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test for medical courses.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An HRD ministry official said: &amp;quot;In science and mathematics, there is not much scope for local content. The committee has interacted with state boards. There is agreement on uniform minimum syllabus.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, if a state board so wishes, it can have a few additional chapters over and above the uniform syllabus.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A total of 30 state school boards conduct exams for senior secondary classes. Aligarh Muslim University and Jamia Millia Islamia conduct Class XII board exams for their constituent schools.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At present, there is a lot of variation in the syllabus followed by each board. Although the National Council for Educational Research and Training draws up a model syllabus for all classes, it is not binding on boards. About 15 boards follow the NCERT syllabus.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
B.N. Mishra, the controller of examinations of the Council of Higher Secondary Education, Odisha, said he had no objection to a uniform syllabus in math and science subjects.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Till last year, the Odisha syllabus varied significantly from national boards, he said. &amp;quot;This year we have revised the syllabus to bring it on a par with the NCERT and CBSE syllabus,&amp;quot; Mishra said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mihir Kanti Deb, the president of Tripura Board of Secondary Education, said: &amp;quot;We have agreed to a common syllabus in subjects that have no scope for regional content.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;But we have a different opinion on subjects like history, literature and geography. We cannot accept a uniform syllabus in social sciences.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2010, the HRD ministry had initiated a move for a uniform syllabus in science and commerce subjects. But it did not get anywhere because of lack of coordination.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A ministry official said a meeting would be convened soon to decide on a uniform syllabus and uniform designing of question papers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The HRD ministry had set up a committee under E.P. Kharbhih, the executive chairman of the Meghalaya Board of School Education, to examine the question paper issue.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Kharbhih panel has suggested that marks should be distributed evenly among essay-type, short answer-type and very short answer-type questions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It said boards should maintain a ratio of one essay-type question to two short answer-type questions to four objective-type questions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The ministry has plans to go for a common commerce syllabus too.

&lt;em&gt;New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;A panel set up by the human resource development ministry has recommended a uniform syllabus in math and science subjects for Classes XI-XII across all senior secondary boards.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The decision is likely to be implemented from the 2017-18 academic year, an HRD ministry official said. It is learnt that the recommendation is acceptable to all 30 senior secondary boards in the country.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, the panel headed by A. Ashok, the secretary of the Board of Intermediate Education of Telangana, has suggested that state boards be given 30 per cent flexibility while designing the curriculum for these subjects, sources said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Syllabus refers to chapters and units to be taught in a particular subject in a class. Curriculum covers the entire gamut of teaching-learning activities in the subject, including assignments, projects, tutorials, presentations and tests.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A uniform syllabus will provide students across boards a level playing field while competing at the national level in exams like the Joint Entrance Examination - Main and Advanced for engineering and the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test for medical courses.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An HRD ministry official said: &amp;quot;In science and mathematics, there is not much scope for local content. The committee has interacted with state boards. There is agreement on uniform minimum syllabus.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, if a state board so wishes, it can have a few additional chapters over and above the uniform syllabus.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A total of 30 state school boards conduct exams for senior secondary classes. Aligarh Muslim University and Jamia Millia Islamia conduct Class XII board exams for their constituent schools.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At present, there is a lot of variation in the syllabus followed by each board. Although the National Council for Educational Research and Training draws up a model syllabus for all classes, it is not binding on boards. About 15 boards follow the NCERT syllabus.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
B.N. Mishra, the controller of examinations of the Council of Higher Secondary Education, Odisha, said he had no objection to a uniform syllabus in math and science subjects.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Till last year, the Odisha syllabus varied significantly from national boards, he said. &amp;quot;This year we have revised the syllabus to bring it on a par with the NCERT and CBSE syllabus,&amp;quot; Mishra said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mihir Kanti Deb, the president of Tripura Board of Secondary Education, said: &amp;quot;We have agreed to a common syllabus in subjects that have no scope for regional content.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;But we have a different opinion on subjects like history, literature and geography. We cannot accept a uniform syllabus in social sciences.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2010, the HRD ministry had initiated a move for a uniform syllabus in science and commerce subjects. But it did not get anywhere because of lack of coordination.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A ministry official said a meeting would be convened soon to decide on a uniform syllabus and uniform designing of question papers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The HRD ministry had set up a committee under E.P. Kharbhih, the executive chairman of the Meghalaya Board of School Education, to examine the question paper issue.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Kharbhih panel has suggested that marks should be distributed evenly among essay-type, short answer-type and very short answer-type questions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It said boards should maintain a ratio of one essay-type question to two short answer-type questions to four objective-type questions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The ministry has plans to go for a common commerce syllabus too.

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;A panel set up by the human resource development ministry has recommended a uniform syllabus in math and science subjects for Classes XI-XII across all senior secondary boards.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The decision is likely to be implemented from the 2017-18 academic year, an HRD ministry official said. It is learnt that the recommendation is acceptable to all 30 senior secondary boards in the country.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, the panel headed by A. Ashok, the secretary of the Board of Intermediate Education of Telangana, has suggested that state boards be given 30 per cent flexibility while designing the curriculum for these subjects, sources said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Syllabus refers to chapters and units to be taught in a particular subject in a class. Curriculum covers the entire gamut of teaching-learning activities in the subject, including assignments, projects, tutorials, presentations and tests.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A uniform syllabus will provide students across boards a level playing field while competing at the national level in exams like the Joint Entrance Examination - Main and Advanced for engineering and the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test for medical courses.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An HRD ministry official said: &amp;quot;In science and mathematics, there is not much scope for local content. The committee has interacted with state boards. There is agreement on uniform minimum syllabus.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, if a state board so wishes, it can have a few additional chapters over and above the uniform syllabus.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A total of 30 state school boards conduct exams for senior secondary classes. Aligarh Muslim University and Jamia Millia Islamia conduct Class XII board exams for their constituent schools.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At present, there is a lot of variation in the syllabus followed by each board. Although the National Council for Educational Research and Training draws up a model syllabus for all classes, it is not binding on boards. About 15 boards follow the NCERT syllabus.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
B.N. Mishra, the controller of examinations of the Council of Higher Secondary Education, Odisha, said he had no objection to a uniform syllabus in math and science subjects.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Till last year, the Odisha syllabus varied significantly from national boards, he said. &amp;quot;This year we have revised the syllabus to bring it on a par with the NCERT and CBSE syllabus,&amp;quot; Mishra said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mihir Kanti Deb, the president of Tripura Board of Secondary Education, said: &amp;quot;We have agreed to a common syllabus in subjects that have no scope for regional content.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;But we have a different opinion on subjects like history, literature and geography. We cannot accept a uniform syllabus in social sciences.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2010, the HRD ministry had initiated a move for a uniform syllabus in science and commerce subjects. But it did not get anywhere because of lack of coordination.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The HRD ministry had set up a committee under E.P. Kharbhih, the executive chairman of the Meghalaya Board of School Education, to examine the question paper issue.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Kharbhih panel has suggested that marks should be distributed evenly among essay-type, short answer-type and very short answer-type questions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It said boards should maintain a ratio of one essay-type question to two short answer-type questions to four objective-type questions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The ministry has plans to go for a common commerce syllabus too.

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;A panel set up by the human resource development ministry has recommended a uniform syllabus in math and science subjects for Classes XI-XII across all senior secondary boards.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The decision is likely to be implemented from the 2017-18 academic year, an HRD ministry official said. It is learnt that the recommendation is acceptable to all 30 senior secondary boards in the country.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, the panel headed by A. Ashok, the secretary of the Board of Intermediate Education of Telangana, has suggested that state boards be given 30 per cent flexibility while designing the curriculum for these subjects, sources said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Syllabus refers to chapters and units to be taught in a particular subject in a class. Curriculum covers the entire gamut of teaching-learning activities in the subject, including assignments, projects, tutorials, presentations and tests.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A uniform syllabus will provide students across boards a level playing field while competing at the national level in exams like the Joint Entrance Examination - Main and Advanced for engineering and the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test for medical courses.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An HRD ministry official said: &amp;quot;In science and mathematics, there is not much scope for local content. The committee has interacted with state boards. There is agreement on uniform minimum syllabus.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, if a state board so wishes, it can have a few additional chapters over and above the uniform syllabus.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A total of 30 state school boards conduct exams for senior secondary classes. Aligarh Muslim University and Jamia Millia Islamia conduct Class XII board exams for their constituent schools.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At present, there is a lot of variation in the syllabus followed by each board. Although the National Council for Educational Research and Training draws up a model syllabus for all classes, it is not binding on boards. About 15 boards follow the NCERT syllabus.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
B.N. Mishra, the controller of examinations of the Council of Higher Secondary Education, Odisha, said he had no objection to a uniform syllabus in math and science subjects.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Till last year, the Odisha syllabus varied significantly from national boards, he said. &amp;quot;This year we have revised the syllabus to bring it on a par with the NCERT and CBSE syllabus,&amp;quot; Mishra said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mihir Kanti Deb, the president of Tripura Board of Secondary Education, said: &amp;quot;We have agreed to a common syllabus in subjects that have no scope for regional content.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;But we have a different opinion on subjects like history, literature and geography. We cannot accept a uniform syllabus in social sciences.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2010, the HRD ministry had initiated a move for a uniform syllabus in science and commerce subjects. But it did not get anywhere because of lack of coordination.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A ministry official said a meeting would be convened soon to decide on a uniform syllabus and uniform designing of question papers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The HRD ministry had set up a committee under E.P. Kharbhih, the executive chairman of the Meghalaya Board of School Education, to examine the question paper issue.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Kharbhih panel has suggested that marks should be distributed evenly among essay-type, short answer-type and very short answer-type questions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It said boards should maintain a ratio of one essay-type question to two short answer-type questions to four objective-type questions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The ministry has plans to go for a common commerce syllabus too.

A uniform syllabus will provide students across boards a level playing field while competing at the national level in exams like the Joint Entrance Examination - Main and Advanced for engineering and the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test for medical courses.<br />

<br />
The HRD ministry had set up a committee under E.P. Kharbhih, the executive chairman of the Meghalaya Board of School Education, to examine the question paper issue.<br />
<br />
The Kharbhih panel has suggested that marks should be distributed evenly among essay-type, short answer-type and very short answer-type questions.<br />
<br />
It said boards should maintain a ratio of one essay-type question to two short answer-type questions to four objective-type questions.<br />

Plan for one science syllabus for all boards -Basant Kumar Mohanty

-The Telegraph New Delhi: A panel set up by the human resource development ministry has recommended a uniform syllabus in math and science subjects for Classes XI-XII across all senior secondary boards. The decision is likely to be implemented from the 2017-18 academic year, an HRD ministry official said. It is learnt that the recommendation is acceptable to all 30 senior secondary boards in the country. However, the panel headed by A. Ashok, the secretary of the Board of Intermediate Education of Telangana, has suggested that state boards be given 30 per cent flexibility while designing the curriculum for these subjects, sources said. Syllabus refers to chapters and units to be taught in a particular subject in a class. Curriculum covers the entire gamut of teaching-learning activities in the subject, including assignments, projects, tutorials, presentations and tests. A uniform syllabus will provide students across boards a level playing field while competing at the national level in exams like the Joint Entrance Examination - Main and Advanced for engineering and the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test for medical courses. An HRD ministry official said: "In science and mathematics, there is not much scope for local content. The committee has interacted with state boards. There is agreement on uniform minimum syllabus." However, if a state board so wishes, it can have a few additional chapters over and above the uniform syllabus. A total of 30 state school boards conduct exams for senior secondary classes. Aligarh Muslim University and Jamia Millia Islamia conduct Class XII board exams for their constituent schools. At present, there is a lot of variation in the syllabus followed by each board. Although the National Council for Educational Research and Training draws up a model syllabus for all classes, it is not binding on boards. About 15 boards follow the NCERT syllabus. B.N. Mishra, the controller of examinations of the Council of Higher Secondary Education, Odisha, said he had no objection to a uniform syllabus in math and science subjects. Till last year, the Odisha syllabus varied significantly from national boards, he said. "This year we have revised the syllabus to bring it on a par with the NCERT and CBSE syllabus," Mishra said. Mihir Kanti Deb, the president of Tripura Board of Secondary Education, said: "We have agreed to a common syllabus in subjects that have no scope for regional content. "But we have a different opinion on subjects like history, literature and geography. We cannot accept a uniform syllabus in social sciences." In 2010, the HRD ministry had initiated a move for a uniform syllabus in science and commerce subjects. But it did not get anywhere because of lack of coordination. A ministry official said a meeting would be convened soon to decide on a uniform syllabus and uniform designing of question papers. The HRD ministry had set up a committee under E.P. Kharbhih, the executive chairman of the Meghalaya Board of School Education, to examine the question paper issue. The Kharbhih panel has suggested that marks should be distributed evenly among essay-type, short answer-type and very short answer-type questions. It said boards should maintain a ratio of one essay-type question to two short answer-type questions to four objective-type questions. The ministry has plans to go for a common commerce syllabus too.
