  during examinations.
• Another big disadvantage of IB is that there is
  no central university acknowledgment for IB
  syllabus school. They have started to receive a
  lot of complains due to the location is not
  specific and fixed and students have to travel a
  lot too far away locations for the process and
  other requirements.

India which was approved by the Government of
India in 1929 and reports to the Ministry of

  have a transferable job and are in always in a
  constant position of relocation across India. As

• CBSE promotes conceptual learning and avoids the
  idea of rote learning. The questions are made
  such way, that it checks the conceptual
  understanding of the students rather than

  question.
• CBSE offers a range of opportunities in the
  field of sports. It promotes the idea and
  importance of both indoor and outdoor sports and
  conducts examinations for sports too. It explores
  student sports activities and conducts national

  financially challenged background and cannot
  afford the burden of educational fees.
