NABET score 2025: Adani Vidya Mandir Ahmedabad among top schools in the country
It's a double bonanza for Adani Vidya Mandir Ahmedabad (AVMA), which has been transforming lives of academically gifted yet economically disadvantaged students since 2008.
Coinciding with the announcement of the Central Board of Secondary Education's (CBSE) Grade XII results on May 13, AVMA has scored a commendable 232 out of 250, joining the league of top-tier schools in the country and topping the list among institutions for the underprivileged category, a release said.
This is as per the latest rating by the National Accreditation Board for Education and Training (NABET) under Quality Council of India (QCI).
Earlier in 2020, AVMA became the first cost-free school in the country to get accredited by NABET under QCI.
The latest accomplishment is in line with Adani Foundation's mission to provide inclusive, high-quality education while fostering holistic development, the release said.
The CBSE Grade XII results are the icing on the NABET cake. AVMA recorded a stellar 100% pass rate, with all 95 candidates securing first division. Alvina Roy and Jay Bavaskar scored 97.6% each in Humanities and Science stream, respectively.
In February, AVMA was adjudged the 'National Winner' in the category of 'School for Underprivileged/Right to Education (RTE) Implementation' and received the 'Samagra Shiksha Award' from Minister of State for Education Dr Sukanata Majumdar.
AVMA integrates the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which were adopted by the United Nations in 2015, into its curriculum, ensuring a global perspective in its pedagogical approach.
The school also collaborates with esteemed organisations such as United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund (UNICEF), Gujarat Science Centre and National Institute of Education (NIE) Singapore, focusing on developing STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) curricula tailored specifically to the Indian context over the past three years.
Among AVMA's noteworthy recognitions are the International Green School Award by Green Mentors, presented at Cornell University, New York, USA; and its certification as a 'Kindness School' by Random Acts of Kindness. These accolades epitomise the school's dedication to environmental stewardship and fostering kindness as integral aspects of education.
Adani Vidya Mandir schools serve over 3,000 students through four campuses: Ahmedabad and Bhadreshwar in Gujarat, Surguja in Chhattisgarh and Krishnapatnam in Andhra Pradesh. (ANI)

AI taught in 4,543 CBSE schools for Class 9, up from 235 in 2019
The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has witnessed a sharp rise in the number of schools offering Artificial Intelligence (AI) as a subject. In just five years, the subject has moved from being a small pilot initiative to becoming a noteworthy part of school to the latest data presented in the Rajya Sabha, CBSE-affiliated schools teaching AI in Class 9 rose from just 235 in 2019-20 to 4,543 in an increase of over 1,800%. For Class 11, the number of schools jumped from 80 in 2020-21 to 944 in the current academic year, an increase of over 1,000%. The union minister of state for education, Jayant Chaudhary, shared these figures in response to a question by BJP MP Sujeet minister said that CBSE introduced AI as an optional skill subject in Class 9 in 2019 and in Class 11 a year IN CLASSROOMS: FROM BUZZWORD TO MAINSTREAM LEARNINGThe curriculum was developed with the support of experts from companies such as Intel and IBM, alongside higher education just the number of schools, but the number of students choosing AI has also grown significantly.

Best of Both Sides: CBSE's math levels will give students more options
The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has been entrusted to come up with and apply novel and robust methods to assess and evaluate students. For students in Class XII, evaluation takes the form of board examinations. The classroom experience, no doubt, is a critical part of a young person's academic experience. But so is the examination system. Despite the introduction of CUET in recent years, the board examinations remain a cause for anxiety for a large section of students. In Mathematics especially, the fear of examinations often comes in the way of enjoying the intricacies of the subject. With a keen eye on students' welfare — as well as the requirements of the knowledge economy — the CBSE has announced the implementation of a two-tier examination system in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) subjects at the senior secondary school level. At present, a Class XI student may choose to study Standard Mathematics or Applied Mathematics. However, both are flat, dense subjects with scarcely any room for flexibility in the syllabus. In the two-tier system, however, the scenario will be different. A student who chooses to pursue the subject may opt for either basic-level or advanced-level Mathematics. She can take the latter option if she aspires to study Maths at university later, or any other course where Mathematics is expected to play a deep auxiliary role — say, Economics or Engineering. If, however, the student wants to pursue a career in the Humanities, Theatre or Sports, but has an affinity for Mathematics, she can opt for the basic level. The CBSE aims to ensure this choice is available to students no later than the academic year 2026-27. Reportedly, NCERT has already started working on books to meet the intellectual needs of this curriculum. The idea of offering subjects at two levels is not entirely new. In several Western countries as well as Singapore and Japan, senior secondary students have been exercising these choices for at least a few decades. Since 1975, the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme has been the major example of this idea in practice. At the Diploma level (equivalent to classes XI and XII), students typically study six subjects — three at the standard level and three at a higher level. The higher-level course allows one to dive deeper into the subject. The standard level offers breadth, but not much depth. The final exams are designed to go in tandem with the student's choice. The IB is now relatively established in India, with more than 200 schools having adopted it. The CBSE's attempt to implement a two-tier curriculum is a much-needed move given the country's diversity and the different learning experiences of students. By reducing the fear of examinations, a two-tiered evaluation is likely to make the subject more amenable to a large number of students. If the purpose of a progressive education system is to draw more young people to a subject, the CBSE's latest move fits this requirement. In addition, STEM subjects are notorious for being intellectually demanding. A Science student in India who passes the Board exam without taking tuition in at least one subject is quite unusual. There is hope that the two-tier curriculum will reduce students' dependence on coaching classes. The new scheme opens up new possibilities, allowing students to explore some advanced-level subjects in greater depth while still leaving significant scope for them to learn new things in basic-level subjects; those designing the two-tier curriculum should take such possibilities into account. The CBSE is not making drastic changes in the reading materials. The significant change will be in the degree of difficulty of the examination. This is not to say there will not be challenges. It is not clear how the examination agency is going to evaluate students taking the same subject at different levels. It's also not certain that this move won't create a divide between teachers who handle advanced-level subjects and those who teach at the basic level. Will the student be permitted to change the level of a subject based on her emotional connect with it? Will the student opting for the basic level of a subject feel inferior to another who has opted for the advanced level? Making a subject more interesting for students is a work in progress and all concerns should be addressed. Even then, a step in the right direction has to be applauded. As Physics Nobel laureate Richard Feynman once said, 'I would rather have questions that can't be answered than answers that can't be questioned.' The writer has taught Mathematics in schools in the NCR for almost two decades. Views are personal
