Apart from major school examinations, the CBSE also conducts most of the major national level competitive exams in the country. This list keeps on getting bigger, with the latest entrant being the UGC NEET exam.
CBSE is considered to be tougher than state boards, but not only is it more student friendly, it is also considered by many to be richer in educational content. CBSE is especially beneficial to those who wish to pursue higher education in nationalized institutions, over state institutions.
