CBSE introduces foundational and abridged version of the course for class 11 students. According to experts, the course aims to better prepare students for advanced coursework. Many schools have already begun classes for class 11 and now the course is very much a part of their curriculum. Principal of Taurian World School, Subhash Kumar, said, “Bridge courses can be considered as extra information that can be given to students to provide them a foundational understanding of the more complex subjects that will be taught to them in the future.
Several seats have been reserved for students to take admission after results. Therefore the lessons based on the curriculum will begin once the results are published. Additionally, the lessons for the students who enrolled after the results will not be missed. the curriculum begins when all available seats have been filled.” The bridge course is being taught to students who have completed class 10 from Indian Council of Secondary Education (ICSE) and Jharkhand Academic Council (JAC).
The bridge course aims to teach students parts of the class 10 syllabus. Principal of Firayalal Public School, Niraj Kumar Sinha, said, “In Class XI, the stream of students changes, and they must devote more time to their studies. In addition, different student boards undergo changes and it takes time to comprehend the modifications to the curriculum and structure of the other boards. The purpose of the bridge course is to help students of other boards understand the pattern at a fundamental level. The classes are for those students whose probational admission has already been administered.”
