The '''Central Board of Secondary Education''' ('''CBSE''') is a national level board of education in India for public and private schools, controlled and managed by [[Union Government of India]]. There are approximately 21,271 schools in India and 220 schools in 28 foreign countries affiliated to the CBSE.<ref name=cbse:1/><ref name=":2">{{Cite web|title=CBSE introduction|url=https://cbse.nic.in/newsite/aboutCbse.html}}</ref> From 309 schools in year 1962, as on year 2019, CBSE has 21,271 schools and 228 schools in 25 foreign countries. All schools affiliated to CBSE follow the [[NCERT]] curriculum.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/delhi/only-ncert-books-at-all-cbse-schools/articleshow/57174456.cms|title=Only NCERT books at all CBSE schools}}</ref>
 
The '''Central Board of Secondary Education''' ('''CBSE''') is a national level board of education in India for public and private schools, controlled and managed by the [[Government of India]]. Established in 1929 by a resolution of the government, the Board was an experiment towards inter-state integration and cooperation in the sphere of secondary education. There are more than 27,000 schools in India and 240 schools in 28 foreign countries affiliated to the CBSE. All schools affiliated to CBSE follow the [[NCERT]] curriculum especially from class 9 to 12. The current Chairperson of CBSE is Nidhi Chibber, [[Indian Administrative Service|IAS]].<ref>{{Cite web |date=2022-05-13 |title=Senior IAS officer Nidhi Chibber appointed CBSE chairperson |url=https://english.jagran.com/education/senior-ias-officer-nidhi-chibber-appointed-cbse-chairperson-10043342 |access-date=2022-05-15 |website=Jagran English |language=en}}</ref>
 
The constitution of the Board was amended in 1952 to give its present name, the Central Board of Secondary Education. The Board was reconstituted on 1 July 1962 so as to make its services available to students and various educational institutions in the entire country.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.cbse.gov.in/cbsenew/cbse.html|title = CBSE - Central Board of Secondary Education}}</ref>


==History==
==History==
The first education board to be set up in India was the [[Uttar Pradesh]] Board of High School and Intermediate Education in 1921, which was under the jurisdiction of [[Rajputana]], Central India and [[Gwalior]].<ref>{{cite news|title=History (and the Expansion) of the Central Board of Secondary Examination |url=http://www.studypost.com/history-expansion-central-board-secondary-examination|access-date=16 December 2017|publisher=studypost.com|date=16 December 2017}}</ref> In 1929, the government of India set up a joint Board named "Board of High School and Intermediate Education, Rajputana". This included [[Ajmer]], Merwara, Central India, and Gwalior. Later it was confined to [[Ajmer]], [[Bhopal]] and [[Vindhya]] Pradesh. In 1952, it became the "Central Board of Secondary Education".

The total mark obtained by a student through moderation cannot exceed 95; if so, it is ''capped'' at 95 unless the student's actual mark is 96 or more. This is the reason a mark of 95 is relatively common for such subjects, and why it is ''much'' tougher to get 96 than to get a 95.
