Agreed......a common curriculum is a must at +2 and +3 levels only.
We can't freeze or limit learning at the K-10 level and 10th Grade board exams are not a common standard to be benchmarked nationally/globally. It merely creates a huge pressure on children. The focus at K-10 is on managing learning outcomes and skill development for future study/work goals. Moreover Grade 10 'CERTIFICATE' should be a school standard examination and the boards must focus on the 12th grade exam 'DIPLOMA' for establishing a standard in sync with higher education and industry needs. K-10 must be flexible as the entire learning process is very dynamic, has to be contextually relevant, socially/environmentally fit etc (as pointed out already) and must evolve fast to adapt to learning needs an techniques using better tools and technologies. Rest is all domain specific applied knowledge/concepts at +2/+3 and prof levels. So all students must go through the basic school curriculum including all subjects as essential knowledge and not mess it up with a range of unmanageable subject choices/alternates at school/Grade 10 level. Schools can mange well in this and tutorial centres can rest for a while.
A common board at 10th Grade would be objected/resisted by all big boards, both national and state. Schools can survive based on their quality etc to differentiate on their uniqueness and sustain to serve the society/community. So, school's must test and certify students at 10th and a common curriculum must be the standard at 12th.
Let them perform at a common 12th for entry to the mainstream....like you have the SAT etc worldwide. In any case all boards have exhausted themselves in marking at 99.99, what more can they do to impact +2 enrollments. None. So let them exist in the market by merit, at the fees that they deserve and not demand just by a board stamp.

Dear All,
Common curriculum is not a fair practice in the primary and secondary education because of environmental factors (I am consciously avoiding individual and psychological factors), Where our public or Government schools are abysmally low in their standards. But in higher education is is required and India has to roll on it sooner the better.

Objective of a curriculum is to get the student ready for future challanges.
Because of multiple boards there is no uniformity and students from state boards face challange in all India competitive entrance exams for higher studies or professional courses.
Curriculum of the state boards are designed keeping in mind the student demography, development status eyc. They relatively weaker compared to CBSE.
For example a text book of Jharkhand or Assam, or Odisha board will not be of same level as that of Delhi or Karnataka board.
This advantage is taken by coaching centres to get them ready.
Though such tution/ coaching will still exist (considering the speed / short cuts and techniques they claim and students rly upon) at least a uniform platform will emerge where all students will find themselves.

Education Minister has proposed the same and soon MHRD is coming out with the common curriculum to ensure uniformity, better outcome and inclusiveness. No more CBSE , ICSE and State Syllabus. Not sure about what will happen to international / Cambridge curriculum. AICTE and UGC will soon replace by HEERA as proposed by Niti Aayog. Indian education space is going through lot of reforms.
All central university has the similar curriculum which is against the objective of setting up of central university to explore the local potential, connect with the local resources and development of the particular region.
Is it such reforms, or something else to be fixed to ensure better outcome?
