CBSE has introduced an online remote invigilation exam for school counsellors. Around 10,000 counselling teachers will be assessed in a phased manner. The initiative aims to improve counselling quality and student mental well-being.
CBSE Introduces Online Remote Invigilation Exam for School Counsellors as part of its initiative to strengthen student support systems. The Central Board of Secondary Education has launched a proctored assessment system to evaluate counselling professionals across affiliated schools.
As per the official notification dated 20 March 2026, the board will assess around 10,000 counselling and wellness teachers in a phased manner. The first phase of the assessment process has already started from February 2026.
CBSE Counsellor Exam 2026 Initiative and Objectives
The newly introduced examination aims to enhance the quality and effectiveness of counselling services in schools. It focuses on evaluating both theoretical knowledge and practical skills. The key objectives of the initiative include:
- Assessing counsellors’ ability to support student mental well-being
- Evaluating ethical practices in counselling
- Strengthening socio-emotional support systems in schools
The board has emphasised that the assessment will go beyond traditional testing methods.
CBSE DIGI-EXAM Platform and Remote Invigilation System
The examination will be conducted using an AI-enabled platform called DIGI-EXAM. This system ensures a secure and standardised evaluation environment. Key features of the platform include:
- Online remote invigilation with proctoring
- AI-based monitoring for transparency
- Standardised assessment process across centres
This approach eliminates the need for physical test centres and enables large-scale evaluation efficiently.
CBSE Counsellor Certification Process and Implementation
The certification process will be carried out in multiple phases to cover all eligible counsellors. The initiative is expected to bring consistency in counselling standards across CBSE-affiliated schools.
The board aims to certify counselling and wellness teachers based on their performance in the assessment. This will help improve the overall student support framework, especially in areas related to mental health and emotional well-being.
Schools and counsellors are advised to follow official guidelines and prepare for the assessment as per the notified schedule.
