The students who appeared for the Class X exam had 6 foundational subjects — English, Hindi, Maths, Science, Social Science, Entrepreneurial Mindset and Digital Design.

For Class XII, DBSE had taken exams in only one stream this year — STEM, ie Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics.

Delhi Education Minister Atishi said SCA and SSCA represent a shift from the rote memory-driven content-based learning system to application-based learning.

“This pedagogical approach is reflected in the process of assessment as well. SCA and SSCA are also criterion-referenced assessments. In such assessments, performance is reported against a pre-determined set of criteria for each subject, which is communicated to students in advance.”

Sargun Sharma, topper in Performing and Visual Arts (Class X) said, “I found a safe and conducive environment for my studies at DBSE’s School of Specialised Excellence. The school encouraged me to be inquisitive and forthcoming. I received guidance to learn practical skills beyond textbook knowledge. Due to these reasons, I was able to excel in exams.
