Schools conducting practical examinations/projects/internal assessment shall ensure that all instructions of the Central/State Governments, local bodies and other statutory organizations relating to the COVID pandemic are strictly adhered to.
To avoid crowds and social distancing, schools may consider dividing a group/batch of students into sub-groups of 10 students each. The first group of 10 students can engage in lab work while the second can do pen and paperwork and vice versa.
CBSE has released a notification to conduct Internal Assessment / Project Evaluation / Practical Examination.
Schools will prepare a final list of applicants and ensure that no student from schools can take practical exams, projects or internal assessments if their names are not submitted to the Board in the online LOC.
The board has directed CBSE schools to contact the regional office to schedule appointments for external examiners and supervisors, ensure that the exams are over on time, and send answer keys and award lists to regional offices.
The board also said that regular session schools are not affected by practical exam dates and instructions as they apply only to those schools which are winter bound.

Apart from this, there will also be a change in the exam pattern for 2023 with CBSE offering more internal choices. This will make the exam more aptitude-based and less cramming-based. The board has also changed the syllabus. After conducting 10th and 12th exams on reduced syllabus for almost two years, CBSE will go back to 100% syllabus.
