Exam Structure

In order to upgrade the skills and proficiency of the young generation and also to provide them awareness to explore about various career options the Central Board of Secondary Education has started offering 17 Vocational Courses in different sectors at Secondary level. The skill education envisions imparting the procedural knowledge and skills to the students that will enable students to excel and emerge successful in real situation of both work and life.

It works towards imparting an education that is holistic, meaningful and skill oriented which instills among the youth a sense of usefulness and responsibility. At Secondary Level, vocational subject is offered as additional sixth subject along with the existing five academic subjects.

If any student fails in any one of the three elective subject (Science, Mathematics and Social Science), then it will be replaced by the vocational subject (offered as a 6th additional subject) and result of Class X will be computed based on best five subjects. However, if a candidate desires to reappear in the failed subject, he or she may appear along with the compartment examination.

Texturing Artists also known as a Shading Artists use variety of software, platforms, and environments to create textures for environments, characters, objects, and props for animated films, television shows, and video games. Individuals at this job are responsible to add textures to models to create photorealistic models that can be used for animation and adding shade to the artwork.
