CBSE : Commencement of Annual Academic Session from 1st April to 31st March

CBSE : Commencement of Annual Academic Session from 1st April to 31st March

F.No./CBSE/Aff/2023

To,

All the Heads of Schools Affiliated to CBSE

1. It has been noticed that some of the affiliated schools have started their academic session quite  early in  the  year.  Attempting  to  complete an entire year’s worth of coursework in a reduced timeframe poses risks for students who may get overwhelmed and struggle to keep up with the pace of the learning, leading to anxiety and burmout.

2. Furthermore, it leaves little or no time for extracurricular activities such as Life Skills, Value Education, Health and Physical Education, Work Education and Community Service, which are just as important as academics.

 

3. The Principals and Heads of Institutions of the schools affiliated with the Board are, therefore, advised to refrain from beginning academic sessions before April 1st  each year and strictly follow Academic Session from 1st April to 31st March.
