CBSE plan talks on skill education for students
2
Ranchi: The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) schools have planned talk shows by policymakers, industry leaders, entrepreneurs and experts to promote skill education and motivate students to build careers in skill-based fields.
CBSE teachers said the skill education committee recently approved the proposal during a meeting of the CBSE management committee. The talks, designed as a series, will allow professionals to share experiences and guide students on career opportunities.
Ranchi Sahodaya School Complex president Jitendra Tiwari said, "The talk show series aims to promote skill education and motivate students to pursue careers in various skill areas."
CBSE would also launch a community radio station to expand outreach. The station will feature live sessions and interactive discussions, making it accessible to students even in regions with poor internet connectivity. While the board runs a podcast titled Shiksha Vani, the proposed community radio will function differently, focusing on wider accessibility, teachers said.
"The series will provide students with an opportunity to learn from professionals and teachers. We are still waiting for detailed guidelines on how to implement it in schools," Tiwari added.

CBSE Board Exam: What Is APAAR ID And Why Is It Important For Students?
Last Updated: CBSE Board Exam 2026: The fee hike aims to cover operating costs and expenses related to modern technical features, as the fee structure has remained stable for the past 4-5 years. Tthe Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has made APAAR ID (Automated Permanent Academic Account Registry) mandatory for students from class 9 to 12. APAAR ID is a unique 12-digit identifier that digitally integrates students' academic profiles, aiding in data management, record integrity, and seamless connectivity to platforms like DigiLocker and Academic Bank of Credits (ABC). APAAR ID, a digital identity, is now mandatory for all students from class 9 to 12. Under the 'One Nation, One Student ID" initiative, the government has asked schools to ensure through the UDISE+ portal that students have this ID before registration (class 9 and 11) and the release of candidates' lists (class 10 and 12). This system enhances record accuracy, reduces duplication issues, and increases the utility of educational platforms like DigiLocker and ABC, aligning with NEP 2020 and the Digital India vision. The CBSE also recently announced an increase in fees for board examinations, effective from the academic session 2025-26. This decision was made during CBSE's 141st Governing Body meeting held on June 25, 2025. The fee hike aims to cover operating costs and expenses related to modern technical features, as the fee structure has remained stable for the past 4-5 years. CBSE has increased the fee for theory subjects by 6.66% and approximately 10% for exams in Nepal and other countries. The fee for each theory subject has risen by Rs 20, changing from Rs 300 to Rs 320. For students taking exams in five subjects, the total fee will now be Rs 1,600, up from Rs 1,500. This slight increase is designed to avoid putting extra financial strain on students or parents. The fee for practical subjects has increased from Rs 150 to Rs 160, impacting class 12 students particularly. This increase supports the enhancement of necessary resources and lab operations. Additionally, the registration fee for class 9 and class 11 has been raised from Rs 300 to Rs 320, covering expenses incurred during the registration process. Discounts for SC/ST students set by the Delhi government will continue. The Delhi government charges Rs 240 per subject as examination fee for these students, which is later refunded. view comments First Published: August 15, 2025, 12:16 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
